[Wien] Fw: The dielectric constant from spin polarirzed calculations has doubled values than that of the non-sp

[Peter Blaha]

The usersguide already says:

(For a metal, the Plasma-frequencies (intraband transitions) for up and 
dn should be added, but then divided by 2, before using x kram.)

I'll issue an additional hint in the outputjointup/dn file.
