[gmx-users] correct rlist and Verlet scheme

In short, FFs were tested to some degree when they were added in GROMACS 
to reproduce AMBER results, but there is no certainty if they actually 
do this now and 'correct' mdp settings to run them are unknown. For any 
of the versions that are listed in GROMACS.
Is that correct, or I'm missing something in translation?
