you can supply atomic positions in crystal coordinates. No warranty
that the crystal axis we use are the same of vasp, though, but in
the case of simple orthorhombic, the choice of the axis is obvious

only in part: the code should find the symmetry for any atomic 
configuration. If however you are close to a symmetric state but 
not really there, strange things may happen
