[phenixbb] syntax and alternate conformations

Hi Mark,

yes, group_occupancies is no longer there. By default, phenix.refine 
will refine occupancies of all atoms in alternative conformations (the 
constraints on occupancies are built automatically based on input PDB 
file).

On top of it, you can specify your own selections for group and 
individual occupancy refinement. However note, there will be no 
constraints applied to user selected occupancies.

For example, if you do:
group = chain A and resid 113
there will be one occupancy refined per residue 113 in chain A. If you 
specify multiple groups they will be treated independently.

Pavel.
