Currently it can read Gaussian03 files and it extracts the ESP, charge, 
multipoles and some more stuff. There is no apriori reason why it 
shouldn't be possible to read this kind of stuff from other QM packages 
as well. However, the whole point is that users would not need to use QM 
anymore (only force field developers). The plan is to solicit 
testers/developers as soon as we submit the first paper (hopefully soon).
