Thanks, Mark. I think, though, that this case is too specific for a
feature-request. I was just hoping to have an automated tool to do
this boring part.

I guess I'll just postprocess the topology with a script after it's
generated by pdb2gmx.

Good to know that this sparkled some reviewing of the code and the manual =)

Great. I looked at yesterday's build, right before the reversion and
followed some of the discussion on Gerrit.

I'll submit my suggestions to the redmine site to avoid cluttering the list.

Thanks for the help!
