[Clam-devel] SMSSynthesys and phase management.

[Xavier Amatriain]

Giulio,

Adding an "original" option might be a good idea but I wonder if it
wouldn't be better to introduce your phase preservation algorithm in 
PhaseManagement as another option, I am sure other people might be
interested in using it or at least seeing how the code work.

In any case, it would be great if you could send the patch (one way or
the other... or both) to the list.

And congratulations for the upgrade! ;)
