Ah, maybe it's really time to organize the collaborative Gromacs project 
in a more efficient way.
First we need to hire some people though. Currently 1.5 persons are 
managing most
of the integration work and there is little time for fixing issues and 
considering new (small)
features. Fortunately several people around the world help with a lot of 
things now,
but we need more people to share the integration and management.
We have the funds, one of you wouldn't happen to no someone who would be 
interested
in Gromacs development/management work?

Cheers,

Berk
