If you want to keep things as simple as possible, to start with, you
should focus on the .top file, which means that you don't have to modify
pdb2gmx (there is a lot of topology magic in that code you don't want
to know about), but you 'only' have to worry about grompp and mdrun,
which are much more structured and ordered in their design and coding.
