[CP2K:4964] Outputting cell information and fractional coordinates

[Efrem Braun]

Similar question applies when using pwtools. io.write_cif is happy to write 
a cif file in fractional coordinates given a CP2K output pdb, but is it 
assuming that CP2K was writing the pdb using a convention that CP2K isn't 
using?
