Grepping a bit I've found that the postprocessing and totally unrelated
utility pw2casino *does* compute the kinetic energy: you can use it to
postprocess you data and get the total kinetic energy.
If you want it as a density, I think it should be feasible to combine the
pw2casino part of the code with the local_dos.f90 code used by pp.x to
plot wavefunction-related quantities. The latter has grown a bit messy,
though: I can't understand half of what it's doing myself.

This would be nice, let's wait a bit and see if someone has done it
already... I've seen it happening more than once.
