[Wannier] significant digits

Use as many as you have, I would say, but in practice the check in 
pw2wannier90.f90 that produces that error checks that the difference 
between the two values is < 1.e-6. You can find this information if you 
open the pw2wannier90.f90 source file, grep for 'Something wrong' and 
read the lines above to see what is checked.

In your case, the difference is ~0.5% (0.165 vs. 0.164), definitely too 
large.
