I'm not sure what the purpose of this should be, but anyway:

Generate the desired k-mesh using xcrysden

x lapw1 -band

This gives you case.energy, where all energies are listed in a fairly 
convenient way.

Now you need to write your own program, forinstance with a Histogram 
method.

Generate an energy grid with a delta-E and count the number of 
eigenvalues within each delta-E
