[gmx-users] Capping residues

As a follow-up, it appears that there are several problems with the CHARMM 
implementation.  I will file a bugzilla with a few other things I found.  There 
are a number of errors in the aminoacids.rtp file that cause problems.  Most of 
all, I can't even get pdb2gmx to generate a CHARMM topology for lysozyme.  If 
that fails, then we're in trouble :)
