New Revision: 2387
   Changeset: http://www.tddft.org/trac/octopus/changeset/2387

Modified:
   trunk/src/td.F90

Log:
When using UserDefinedStates as initial states for a time
propagation, octopus was always trying to read ground state
files from the tmp directory, even when all initial orbitals
were given as formula strings (I didn't think of this case,
when I was initially adding the UserDefinedStates feature). 
Adding therefore a logical variable OnlyUserDefinedInitialStates 
(with default "no"). If true, then one can use arbitrary 
initial states for a time propagation (via UserDefinedStates) 
and octopus is not attempting to read ground state orbitals. 

This is e.g. useful to propagate coherent states, or gaussian
wave packets. Might also be useful for excerices on time 
propagations in the summer school.
