[Wien] lapwdm not working (anymore)?

initso_lapw   should reduce the symmetry operations to 16, not 12 (if M= 
0 0 1). It makes cubic --> tetragonal

Unfortunately, a quick test shows that   in *outputsymso  theta and phi 
is wrong and thus it reduces to a wrong symmetry.

I'll debug it as quick as possible.
