[Wien] resolution dependent F(HKL)s from lapw3

Peter can/will probably make some comments. From what I can remember,
lapw3 is an old, not completely optimized code. If you dig through it
(which you may have to do for what you appear to want) you will find
it does a convolution to correct the PW's so they are zero within the
spheres, and a numerical transform for the density within the spheres.
Both are probably going to depend upon the sampling (largest HKL used)
and for certain you will need a large RKMAX and GMAX as otherwise the
PW's will be truncated (inspect case.clmsum -- are the high angle
values you want there?)

The main use of lapw3 in the past has been for the lower-angle values
that are affected by bonding and these are OK although there are some
issues (dig into the literature on charge density comparisons)
particularly at high angles which have to do with how the core states
are calculated. Search for "charge density" on the Wien2k publications
page.
