[Pw_forum] Non cubic structures

[degironc]

Dear  Srijan,
     thank you for pointing out the inconsistency between the README 
file and the actual script in example03, it is fixed now in  the cvs 
version and will propagate in future releases of the package.
     A problem with documentation is that it is usually outdated unless 
constantly re-checked.
     thanks,  
           Stefano de Gironcoli
