[Wien] running k-point parallel across nodes

[Laurence Marks]

You have to make sure that the executables path is known on the other
nodes, It looks like you are using ksh (I am not very familiar with
it) so you need to have appropriate lines in the initialization files
( .kshrc ??? as a guess) to set this up. The script .userconfig does
this for bash/csh, not sure about ksh (never tried).
