The Pande group (folding.stanford.edu) have implemented both Amber and
Charm in GROMACS. It is currently being tested. As soon as they are
convinced that it works we will add it to the standard distribution.

If you can do as a test both a protein in water, and DNA in water it
would be useful. There must be plenty of Amber topology files out there.
If you think that it works well you can upload it to the gromacs website
(under contributions).

Also the Pande group together with Erik Lindahl have done this. Don't
know about the status of this.
