[phenixbb] ncs restraint

[Pavel Afonine]

Hi Engin,

since the model gets improved during refinement (hopefully), it is a 
good idea to update NCS restraints based on improved model, so the 
default behavior.

The use of NCS restraints in phenix.refine is explained in the manual:
http://www.phenix-online.org/documentation/refinement.htm#anch24

I admit that the automatic NCS determination has a room for improvement, 
but once again: ideally it should be done fully automatically and be 
updated as model gets improved. It is in my list...

As it is now it's always good to check the automatic choice (as Ralf 
mentioned).

Pavel.
