[phenixbb] omit map with twinning?

Hi Pavel

Well it seems that Nathaniel Echols tried it with the merohedrally  
twinned porin structure in the examples directory and the density maps  
were not great at all.

The OP (Kelly Daughtry) wants an SA omit map on a twinned structure.  
This is something I've struggled with for sometime and could never get  
a decent map.
