[Wien] wien2wannier with SOC

[Elias Assmann]

Dear Jianxin,

Normally, wien2wannier usage questions should go to the Wien2k mailing
list for the possible benefit of other users.  I am copying to the list now.

This sounds like the “old” prescription -- copying vsp files should no
longer be necessary.  See also this page
<https://github.com/wien2wannier/wien2wannier/wiki/wien2wannier-with-SOC>
(I just edited that to make it hopefully a little easier to understand).

In fact, that is the first thing I have to recommend: please get the
latest “master“ version from GitHub and try again.  There have been
important changes especially with regards to SOC.

If you have the same problems (“wiggly” Wannier bands) with the master
version and the procedure from the Wiki, please report back.
