mk_angndx is not a very widely used tool. If you know the atom numbers
making up your dihedral it's just as easy to write a small script to do
it for you. Changing the tpr file should not be necessary...

If something then we maybe should merge the two programs, but I doubt
anyone will want to put time in this...
