[Ifeffit] Space group type in Artemis

[Robert Gordon]

B11b in an alternate form of space group #9 (Cc or C1c1)
Atoms does take Bb as the space group, but that could be Bb11
(which does not produce an error message) with unique x-axis instead
of the unique z-axis in B11b.

My suggestion: When I use a crystal structure in Atoms,
I prefer to check the Inorganic Crystal Structure Database (ICSD)
for a standard form of the structure (and a list of distances for 
comparision).
That should net a structure in Cc format.
