[phenixbb] difference in B factor for NCS groups

[Paul Adams]

Using TLS is the appropriate way to handle this situation. The  
restraints between NCS related atoms (if you are using NCS restraints)  
will be applied to the residual ADPs, not the total (i.e. the TLS  
should account for the difference in overall B for the molecules).
