[Wien] passing env variables to lapw1 and 2

[Laurence Marks]

A partial solution is to include them in $WIENROOT/parallel_options, as all
the parallel routines source this file. You may be able to tweak this for
what you want, but since I don't know exactly what you want to set I am not
sure.

N.B., if you are using openmpi then you have to enable transfer for
variables in the mpi call command, and perhaps for other flavors as well.
