That's probably the case with simple cubic crystal systems. Other systems, like
hexagonal, monoclinic, etc., are a bit different. I should try to get a cubic
system to work first.

My goal is to simply convert HKL values to normal vectors, and then to build
crystals from those using intersecting planes.
