[phenixbb] How do I turn off sidechain rotamer fitting?

[Pavel Afonine]

Hi Owen,

local real-space refinement will not fit a side-chain into a rotamer 
outlier: it uses both, map and rotamer library, and also it uses a quite 
complex logic that aims to find best density fit and at the same time 
keep good geometry (no outliers of any sort). That's why I wanted to 
look at the files because to me what you described is an indicator of a 
problem somewhere else or a bug..
