Write density on grid of my choice

[Matthias Krack]

Hi Sascha,

cp2k calculates the density at the FFT grid points. You may calculate the 
density yourself as you describe, but it is possibly easier to use a fine 
grid by specifying a relatively large cutoff and then to read the cube file 
with an external program which evaluates the density at the points you are 
interested in by (trilinear) interpolation.
