[Wien] install wien2k on netbook

[Richard Clements]

I have had success installing WIEN2k 9.2 on a 900 MHz Celeron ULV netbook 
(ASUS eeePC 900, 2 GB ram, 20 GB SSD) 
running 
Ubuntu 9.10 
and Intel Fortan Compiler 10 + MKL. The largest issue, in my opinion, is 
that the compiler does not have CPU specific optimisations for Celeron. 
Otherwise the compile was no more complex than any other 
serialised install. 
WIEN2k runs fast enough on my netbook to converge c-ZrO2 on a 1000k-point 
mesh but for bigger systems you'll want to use a more powerful system to 
run the SCF cycle.

Regards,

Richard
