[phenixbb] About Restrain Files for ligands

[Pavel Afonine]

To add to this: best way to generate restraints file within Phenix 
framework is to use eLBOW with a SMILES string (using GUI or CL), then 
quickly inspect the restraints file (aka 'ligand CIF file') to make sure 
it reflects what you know about the ligand.
