LISA xspec stuff current status

strain2xspectime.pl creates input file correctly for time series data and this is fit using the mbht model. However, residuals show high frequency correlations presumably because noise is being
applied in frequency space in synthlisa. The strain2xspec.pl and mbh model which work in frequency space are not working correctly - the model doesn't match the data when it should. All current changes are checked into the repository.

I'm not clear how and why the postBuffer is used - need to check this with Sean or Ira.

Larger question is how should the noise be generated ? Is it correct to do this in the frequency domain ? A better detector model may be required.
