segmented basis sets

Some days a generally contracted basis set won't do, such as when you are trying to calculate CADPAC energy gradients using MCSCF in MOLPRO (namely, you want to use state-averaged calculations). In that case I suffer through using the Pople basis sets for a bit until I feel they are not cutting it, in which case I supply an external basis set using the below library developed in Japan.

Here is an example for C, using their 2012 DZP basis set.
