[CP2K:1181] TS optimization

[Teodoro Laino]

Hi Lekpa,

In my opinion this message is clear enough:

BFGS does not work for DIMER or CELL_OPT.

If you uncomment the lines commented here below it should work  
(possibly choosing the right line-search algorithm.. not all line-search
have been implemented for all optimization methods)

Dimer method has been implemented and somehow tested (Luca can  
comment more on this.. at least better than I can..)..
But as usual the most important thing is the choice of the parameters  
(for the Dimer).. if you choose them wrong it could be a never-ending
story..
