I am not aware of any pseudopotential-generation or electronic-structure
code using this EV-GGA. if this Engel-Vosko stuff is just a variant  
of GGA
with a different functional form (I am too lazy to read the  
reference) its
implementation in quantum-espresso is a straightforward but annoying
exercise: see Modules/functionals.f90
