Add the flag -type ryckaert-bellemans

I get this result:
http://folding.bmc.uu.se/eth-rbdist.png
with simulations from

@Article{Wensink2003a,
   author =       {E. J. W. Wensink and A. C. Hoffmann and P. J. van 
Maaren and D
. van der Spoel},
   title =        {Dynamic properties of water/alcohol mixtures
studied by computer simulation},
   journal = {J. Chem. Phys.},
   year = 2003,
   volume = 119,
   pages = {7308-7317}
}
