[Wien] Problem when applying mBJ in a charged cell

I don't think it makes sense to calculate charged cells with a charge of 
-12. Where should the electrons go ?
I'm also not sure if such a "doping" by oxygen makes any sense.

In addition, while a GGA may converge, a meta-GGA which needs a 
consistent kinetic energy density tau may not yield a reasonable 
potential. (or you have made a mistike initializing mbj ?).
