[Wien] Query about Kgen for tetragonal system

The general approach is to increase the k-mesh until the results converge
"adequately". I deliberately added quotes, as everything depends upon what
you are trying to do! I don't know for certain, but I would wonder about
whether +U or -eece is needed for the Fe -- in which case your are
obtaining converged results to a not so good model if you just use PBE or
PBEsol (for instance).....
