[Wien] Meaning of -du term

The papers mentioned by Fabien define clearly the calculation of the 
vorbup/dn/ud terms (equ. 20 and 21.)

We define an APW basis as phi(i)=sum_lm (A_lm(i) u_l Y_lm )

These vorbs represent a simple potential, which is used in the 
Hamiltonian and enter as simple products of

H(i,j)=A_lm(i) V_mm' A_lm'(j)    where i,j represent the K_i of an APW, 
and we have used the normalization of <u_l u_l> = 1

In lapw1 we would have only one spin at a time, thus only up or dn terms 
enter.
In lapwso we couple up and dn spin, thus there are terms  H(up,dn) and 
they are calculated using vorbud.
