[phenixbb] geometry weight and rmsd bonds - angles

Hi Ed,

Yes, exactly. There is a chapter on this in

Hendrickson, W.A. (1985). Meth. Enzym. 115, 252-270.

But is is all very elementary:
  contribution to target function = weight * delta_of_some_sort**2
with
  weight = 1/(expected_esd**2)
and delta depending on the restraint type, e.g.
  delta = distance_ideal - distance_model
or
  delta = angle_idea - angle_model
etc.
