More generally, the contents of the [molecules] directive in the .top must 
always match the contents of the coordinate file in terms of the number of 
molecules and the order in which they are listed.  Some Gromacs programs (like 
genbox and genion) are capable of making automatic updates, but anything else 
(like ligands) will have to be done manually.
