the pw.x code calculates the superposition of atomic charge densities
(from data in the pseudopotential files) in order to estimate the starting
potential. I think you can perform a non-scf calculation starting from 
atomic charge densities. I am not sure whetrher in this case the charge
density is saved to a file or not. If it isn't, you may need to modify the
code
