When you run the structure through grompp, it will complain about a lot of 
mismatching atom names.  It will then tell you that the names in the coordinate 
file will be ignored and those in the topology will be used.  For normal usage, 
mismatching is bad news, but for CG, it is the only appropriate way to get the 
coordinate and structure files synced up.  I believe this is explained in the 
MARTINI documentation and/or tutorials.
