[Wien] symmetry in case. struct file

Hi Peter,
I guess your problem is probably caused by that the case name differs 
from the name of the working directory. 
For many shell scripts used for running wien2k,  it is assumed that the 
case name is identical to the working directory name.
But the master script,  x_lapw,  does allow the two being different by 
using the command line option -f <case name>.
Personally I hope this option will be provided for all scripts so that 
we can freely choose the case name (or directory name).

In many cases, one can use the automatically generated case.inst by 
init_lapw, so that one only need case.struct to start init_lapw
