Fractional occupied orbitals

[Matt W]

Hi Natalie,

the warning is just for the calculation of the S**2 operator - i.e the 
expectation value of the total spin for the system. The value of it for DFT 
is a bit uncertain anyway...

The spin density is a totally different thing, and should be fine to use in 
analysis. Same goes for all properties that can be output as cube files I 
can think of.
