what is a "generalized susceptipility"?

PHONON can calculate the macroscopic dielectric constant "out of the  
box". With little work one could obtain the G/=0 components of the  
response to an applied electric field (q->0). With some more work, it  
would not be difficult to calculate epsilon^{-1}(q,q) (I understand  
that my notation may not be more clear than yours ;-)
