[Wien] Self consistent LDA+U in WIEN2k 10.1?

For whatever reason, this method does not work with Wien2k.

If you want to do this, see the notes on constrained LDA in textbooks.
In my opinion the on-site hybrids make this obsolete.

By self-consistent, I mean the U value is obtained in SCF cycles and doesn't have to be specified manually, rendering the calculations fully ab initio, like in QUANTUM-ESPRESSO as exemplified in Phys. Rev. Lett. 97, 103001 (2006).
