[Wien] mini with constrains

[Peter Blaha]

No need to worry. WIEN2k preservs symmetry (unless there is a bug).
In your case, this positions will have only two independend forces, one 
for xy, theother for z. So mini gets always symmetry adapted forces.
So you should not change anything.

> I wonder also if the atom will stay on the mirror (probably yes).
