Actually I have a tree in which this is implemented, but it is not 
completely trivial to get it working with shifts. One does need an extra 
coordinate array to do this. In fact the code doesn't work for me yet. 
This patch also removes the need for multi-cpu tpr files and 
splits all bonded forces over all processors, at the cost of doing 
communication of all coordinates and forces over all the processors.
