[CP2K-user] [CP2K:11446] LIST method in SMEAR section

This is more or less what the Maximum Overlap Method does ( MOM 
<https://manual.cp2k.org/cp2k-6_1-branch/CP2K_INPUT/FORCE_EVAL/DFT/SCF/MOM.html> 
). The code there might be worth a look.

However, we have had very little success with it for solid state systems 
(or anything more complex than a simple peptide).
