As with perl, there are many ways to do things. Finding out how many is
left as an exercise for the reader.
To start of with, you can use tpbconv to create a tpr file in which all
but the charges your are interested in are zero. Note that you want
neutral groups, otherwise the meaning of the dipole is undefined.
A second, somewhat more difficult possibility is to make a new topology
with different molecule definitions.
