[Wien] Running parallel job with Slurm+intel mpi

No, the srun command cannot work with these options, but need other 
switches.
Most likely in WIEN2k_14.2 you will have to use   mpirun, or try:

srun -n_NP_   (i.e. without the blank between n and _NP_)


In the next version, we will have support for srun, but at least for 
mixed k-point+mpi-support it requires also a small change in the 
lapw*para scripts.
