Hello,
The chemical structure package in ConTeXt/MetaPost *was* rewritten and
is fully functional. However, the rewritten documentation did not keep
up with some of the latest development changes and has errors. I have
promised Hans to fix this but have not gotten to it (yet)!
The present package is fully usable: I published a two-volume book that
made heavy use of it.
The ConTeXt package is very graphical-designer oriented and not so
friendly as a chemist might like to use it. That would be a next step.
I will look at the LaTeX package that you show to see how it works and
if there are any good ideas.
Alan
