[CP2K-user] GTH pseudopotential from CP2K to abinit format

Dear Fabian,
yes, but the question is that the PP's I want to translate from CP2K to 
abinit are *not* any of those in the library, but instead some PPs that a 
coworker created for a functional that is not there in that list. The thing 
is then to know how to find those missing parameters that are present in 
the abinit format but not in the CP2K one.
I understand that the 'mmax'' parameter is always 2001 for all elements and 
functionals, but I don't know how to compute the k parameter/s that are 
present in the abinit files... (and the abinit documentation does not 
clarify this).
Thanks!
D.
