Great stuff. The answer is no, but... As a workaround you can read the
trajectory in two bits, e.g.:
g_mindist -b 0
g_mindist -b 10000

However, you may find that your hard disk is the bottleneck here. In
that case it would be better to copy the second half of your trajectory
to another disk (using trjconv)
Then you can really profit from the above example.

The simplest solution is (ofcourse) to write a script to do what you
want from the existing trajectory, and go for a hike while you wait for
the computer to finish...
