So that's the autocorrelation of the existence function. Now you need a 
geometric criterion for existence. Note that g_hbond with 
well-constructed groups will calculate the autocorrelation of the 
existence function for an H-bond. See g_hbond -h.

g_dist, some scripting and g_analyse might be necessary for other criteria.
