Hi. g_hbond can do that, sort of. You can calculate e.g. the nr of  
water oxygens within a certain distance from the protein. The  
limitation lies in that g_hbond operates at a atom basis, not  
molecule, meaning that there is strictly no way of finding the number  
of solvent molecules directly. However, I think that counting the nr  
of water oxygens would be good enough for most applications.
