[phenixbb] Occupancy refinement

[Pavel Afonine]

Hi Mark,

I'm pretty sure it is possible (and easy) to do in phenix.refine, but 
syntax to ask phenix.refine to do this may not be obvious... I should 
probably add more examples to the documentation. Meanwhile, if you send 
me the portion of your PDB file containing the residues in questions and 
HEME, then I will send you back a working example.

Pavel.
