That would have to be added to the code, but I don't see a real compelling 
purpose.  Given that clusters.pdb can be either the central or average structure 
in the cluster, which box is relevant?  For the central member, that could 
probably be saved from the trajectory (but the input is not guaranteed to have 
box vectors) but for an average structure, what makes sense?
