F and Br's GB radii and overlap parameters have not yet been optimized for
molecular dynamics simulations. For rough approximations or
optimization starting points, you could check out values in Hawkins et
al., J. Phys. Chem. 100:19824-19839, 1996. To add GB parameters for new
atoms in amber 6, simply add to ~line #623

else if( atsymb.eq.'B' ) then
  x(L96-1+i) = 0.96d0
  x(L97-1+i) = 1.40d0

where the first variable is the screening parameter and the second is the
GB radius.
