I'm neither a physicist or a chemist, rather a computer scientist who 
has worked a little bit with the GROMACS codeline.  From my experience 
having test cases in CVS such as Michael described would be very 
helpful.

The students I work with have some experience with developing automated 
test harnesses for other scientific cores, if someone can provide us 
with the data, mdp files, command lines, etc. to use we could put 
something together.
