vdw-xc implemenation) -- l'll try to make a pull request tonight (or tomorrow)!


Best wishes

Mikkel

Hi,

Mikkel Strange her at CAMD is writing such .eb files right now.  GPAW-1.4.0 and 
the GPAW setups as separate modules.

Mikkel:  I CC you on this email.  Maybe you can explain what you are doing, or 
just make a pull request soon.

Best regards

Jakob
