[Ifeffit] choosing k-weight

Dear Ifeffiters,

I'm wondering what principles you have to determine the appropriate 
k-weight to use for FTs. Until now I've used guidelines from a textbook by 
Teo, based on the Z of the backscattering atoms:
Z > 57; kw = 1
57 > Z > 36; kw = 2
Z < 36; n = 3

Of course you can have different backscatterers around your absorber - I've 
got C, N and Pt! Are there any other rules you follow?

Thanks very much in advance!

Peter
