Previously mdrun used to be part of the RAID tools on linux boxes as 
well. Both mdrun and genbox fall under the category of programs that are 
being used in scripts a lot.

I have now picked the low hanging fruit and renamed some of the less 
used tools to g_XXX, and also kicked out some stuff that was obsolete 
(average, scrollw). I decided not to touch the configure stuff, too 
messy, at least in Peter's proposal.

The following programs were renamed:
luck
wheel
protonate
x2top
showcol
highhway
sigeps
anadock

e.g.
g_highway -f $GMXDATA/gromacs/top/highway.dat
