[Pw_forum] Phonon calculation using vdw-DF van der waals's correction

[Emine Kucukbenli]

Hi all, I see in svn history that the development branch "espresso-ph" was
created to implement exactly that and as far as i can see it is in working
condition. I dont know how much it is aligned with the latest svn trunk
(last branch update is on revision 9294) but you could give it a try and
let us know how it works.cheers.emine
