[Pw_forum] degauss in DOS calculation.

[Paolo Giannozzi]

At high temperature, I would expect that the smearing to
be used in scf and md calculations is larger than the
smearing needed to get a good-looking DOS. Thet serve
different purposes: the former is a physical smearing,
used to get the correct occupations; the latter is a
"mathematicl" smearing, used to get the DOS with a
moderate number of k-points
