+An all-electron full-potential linearised augmented-plane wave
+(LAPW) code with many advanced features. Written originally at
+Karl-Franzens-Universitat Graz as a milestone of the EXCITING EU
+Research and Training Network, the code is designed to be as simple
+as possible so that new developments in the field of density
+functional theory (DFT) can be added quickly and reliably. The code
+is freely available under the GNU General Public License.
+
+
+ The code is made to use OpenMP and only build with -fopenmp flag,
+although the default building doesn't use additional optimization
+flags to OpenMP.
+ However there is some building options available, that can be set
+using the environment variables as following:
+ If you want to enable more optimizations to OpenMP set OMP_OPT=yes
+ You can also enable MPI, set MPI=yes and install openmpi or mpich.
+ It's also possible to use OMP_OPT=yes and MPI=yes together.
+
+ Optional dependence: libxc
+ To use libxc set LIBXC=yes, this requires libxc
