parallelization for find-k calculations

Dear Steven and MPB-users!

I try to calculate the spatial dispersion relation (longitudinal k as a function
of transverse k) of a 1D-waveguide array at a certain wavelength. Therefore I
use the find-k routine of MPB. My .ctl file works well for the first band but
already takes a lot of time for the computation.
To calculate also higher bands I would like to parallelize the calculations but
I'm not sure which is the best way to do so. Most of the ways (MPI, k-list
splitting) described in the wiki seem to be designed for the usual run-routines
to calculate w(k) and I'm not sure how to implement them with find-k.

Thank you for help!

Best regards

Frank
