[Pw_forum] external electric field

[Stefano Baroni]

a "sawlike" potential is not homegeneous! as simple as that ...
the first is implemented as a regular potential, the second using  
Berry's phases and constrained optimization, following ideas from  
Resta, Vanderbilt, Umari-Pasquarello among others
