SA-MCSCF geometry optimization

[Peter Knowles]

You can pick up the segmented-contraction versions of cc-pVxZ from
http://www.emsl.pnl.gov:2080/forms/basisform.html . They are
functionally equivalent to the published ones (span same space), but
if you print the orbital coefficients they are not as pretty. If you
want aug- or other variants, then I guess you just have to add the
extra functions by hand.
