Is there any method to generate (e.g., a SMILES string) a
representation of the maximum common substructure between two
or more compounds?

    The maximum common substructure detection algorithm
    described by Krissinel and Henrick in Software: Practice and
    Experience
    Volume 34, Issue 6 , Pages 591 - 607, is easy to implement
    and reasonably fast for small (drug-size) molecules.

    Easy and good might be a difference to general and usefull
    for prototyping. Assign it to me, I have already some code
    for that I must 'only' transform to C++.
