[CP2K:5018] Periodic RESP charges for paracetamol form I crystal

Thank you Dorothea and Juerg for your helpful comments.  I managed to get 
physically meaningful charges from the RESP fit by using restraints in the 
RESP fit and using the DDAP charges as the target values.  At the moment I 
am varying the strength of the restraints in an effort to minimize the RMSD 
of the fit.  Thank you for your help!

Best,

Mike
