[gmx-users] make ghost atom

[ilona.baldus at bioquant.uni-heidelberg.de]

I'm not sure if this helps, but have you tried link/ dummy atoms like  
you use them for QMMM? For dummies add a line to ff***nb.itp where you  
define them to have neither charge nor weight (also 0 for LJ-pot).
Then add them to your topology-file. Check out
