This suggests adding a warning about pressure coupling when the atomic 
distribution is strongly non-homogeneous... but what's an easy test for 
that? Is a 3x3x3 grid search in grompp out of the question? More than 
50% variation in atom number density per grid volume would probably pick 
up vacuum simulations but not show false-positive membrane simulations.
