It could be done, but not without hacking the kernel code. Additive 
functions of an interatomic distance are easy, but not additive 
functions of two different distances. That said, it'd be only a handful 
of extra lines of code in the water-water kernels, for a simple function 
s(r). Prove the concept in the generic C kernels before touching the 
assembler ones, though!
