[CP2K:6441] Problems with GAPW + external potential

Hi Juha,

there are a couple of files attached (compatible with latest version of 
cp2k at time of writing, but there are only a couple of lines changed) you 
can try and see if it works with GAPW. It only works with the soft part of 
the density, including the compensation charges. As the compensation 
charges, including the core, are put onto the fft grid the core routines in 
external_potential need to be protected. Might need tidying for mixed 
gpw/gapw.

I guess this approximately means that the core (i.e. any functions on the 
hard atomic grids) isn't directly polarized by the field? For modest fields 
it should be fine, maybe?

Let me know how it goes,

Matt
