There may be differences required to properly account for different 
types of systems, and certainly you will need to make changes to the 
nonbonded setup if you're using a different force field.

There's no magic to these files - they're just plain text. You could 
fire up your favorite plain text editor and write them from scratch, if 
you wanted. Otherwise, just modify existing files to suit your needs, 
again using nothing more than a plain text editor (vim, emacs, etc).
