[Ifeffit] Filter window shape for FT?

[Scott Calvin]

Just to clarify...do you mean you're doing the fits in q-space (i.e. 
the back transform)? Or do you actually mean that the window used in 
k-space to get to R-space shouldn't have sharp corners? After all, if 
you're fitting in R-space, Artemis doesn't use an R-space window per 
se, just a fitting range.
