[gmx-users] NH2 angles wrong in calch.c

The documentation of the hydrogen database (Gromacs Manual 3.2, p 94)
says that "type 3" hydrogens are added with bond angles of 120 (which is
right).

However the code, v 3.2.1, src/gmslib/calch.c, lines 182-187, uses the
tetrahedral angle 109.5 deg.  Surely this is wrong.

Minor gripe: why not define the tetrahedral angle exactly?

#define alfaH   (acos(-1/3.0))
