[Wien] spin density and charge density in spin polarized systems, may be a bug ?

When you do a standard charge density plot in WIEN for a spin polarized 
case, you will always get the spin-density (as default).

In order to calculate spin-up or dn densities seperately, you need to 
rename case.clmvaldn (or up) to something else (a file with this name 
must not be present).
