In order to mix pseudopotentials with two different meshes one needs to 
interpolate at least one of the two on a common mesh. This interpolation
is not dificult but has not been tested... hence the error message.

A way to give back to the community would be to help testing/fixing the 
interpolation scheme...

A simple strategy I see for that is building a *fake* virtual 
pseudopotential
with 0% of potential1 and 100% of potential2 ... this forcea the system 
to use
the mesh of potential1 and if the interpolation is fine, should give 
resuslts equivalent to the original potential2.
If this is not the case there is a problem in the interpolation.
If/when everything is fine one could safely remove the error messages in 
virtual.x
