Probably nothing as smart as you need.  The main problem was that you had (in 
your original files) inconsistent numbering (multiple residue names as 1, then 
2, then back to 1) and inconsistent names.  If you have a dipeptide of Phe-Phe, 
you don't have Lys and Asp at all, you just have termini, which are easily dealt 
with in Gromacs if they are simply part of the Phe residue and are given the 
correct atom names.
