[Pw_forum] data structure of wave function and charge density

Dear all,

as a further possibility, the pieces of code needed to read wfcs and 
charge density are also distributed with espresso as a general purpose 
library

~espresso/PP/qexml.f90

where "general purpose" means that there is no reference to any specific 
module in espresso except the iotk library (needed to parse xml).

hope it helps
andrea
