[Ifeffit] lifetime broadening of pre-edge peaks?

Hi Matthew,
This may be a minor (and possibly different) point, but vibrational
broadening can be different for different pre-edge peaks. See for example,
Keith Gilmore and Eric L Shirley 2010 *J. Phys.: Condens. Matter* *22*315901.
Cheers,
Josh Kas
