conformations

Is there really any notable structural difference between the keto and
enol
forms?  Differences between single/double bond lengths are so small,
it's
probably not worth it unless you have very high resolution.

To do so, look at examples for multiple conformations.  You need
a few "constraints interactions" statements to keep thw two forms
from interacting with each other.  You can refine grouped occupancies
for the two substrate forms with "optimize group q=()..." but you
can't constrain the sum to be 1 or <=1.  Also, with B and occupoancies
correlated, I usually adjust the average B's of the two conformations
to be equal before doing occupancy refinement.
