Anyone is welcome to contribute whatever they feel is useful in the User

Conversions between polarizable and nonpolarizable models will be trivial when 
my Drude branch is ready to be merged into the main code repository, so the need 
for any hacks is very low.  Soon it will be possible to very easily do full 
biomolecular simulations with polarizable force fields just as one would with 
additive models (i.e., pdb2gmx will build everything for you).  There are a few 
lingering issues that I'm sorting out, but it should be done fairly soon.
