I should have said "a fourth way", I think. Martin Schoernert
performed the same calculation with GAP. Hence, we have three
ways in hand: 1) Dan's Polya-Burnside method, 2) Martin's GAP
calculations, and 3) brute force computer search. My new
proposal would then be a fourth way.
Here is a question for Martin: is there any way with GAP to calculate
the number of M-conjugacy classes associated with each symmetry class?
It is this additional information about the "real cube space" which
*is* available via computer search, and for which I am proposing
an alternative which does not involve computer search.
