[Dallas Warren]

According to the documentation, genbox:

"3) Insert a number (-nmol) of extra molecules (-ci) at random positions. 
The program iterates until nmol molecules have been inserted in the box. To 
test whether an insertion is successful the same VanderWaals criterium is 
used as for removal of solvent molecules. When no appropriately sized holes 
(holes that can hold an extra molecule) are available the program tries for 
-nmol * -try times before giving up. Increase -try if you have several 
small holes to fill"

Are these features actually implemented in 3.1.4?

Reason I ask is while inserting multiple molecules into a box, some end up 
practically on top of each other and are impossible to em.  And when you 
are inserting a lot of molecules into a box, with long chains, it can take 
some time to find a box version that is suitable to use.
