[Ifeffit] Feff for > 175 atoms

Hi Eckhard,
You did the right thing. nclusx is the parameter you want to change and 
you want to change it everywhere that it appears in the whole file. 
Bruce's suggestion to check the results is also good. Also, just so that 
you know, the code will eventually crash (or possibly not compile)  if 
nclusx is set too large. There are some workarounds, but I'll leave that 
for another day.
Cheers,
Josh Kas
