Questions about the section Mixing in the XAS calculation

[Ali Akbari]

Hi Marcella, 

It has been a quite while since this post was written. However, it seems to 
me that it's not yet 
implemented completely (for Kerker it works). I was especially interested 
in Pulay mixing. Is there
any way to use it in XAS (of course with GAPW approach)?     

Many thanks,
Ali
