[CP2K:1353] Periodic MD

[Laino Teodoro]

Hi Ilya,

there's a buf in the documentation (that I fixed now). Of course CELL% 
PERIODIC applies to the generation of the
neighbor lists as well as to the application of the PBCs for  
positions (since the two concepts are highly coupled).

If you don't want your system evaporate use CELL%PERIODIC XYZ.
