Those weights are just from a standard math book; they have nothing to do
with Amber or free energy, etc.
However, with larger values of klambda, you should plot out the behavior
of your integrand to see how smooth it is, and how many points are likely
to be required to get a good value for the integral. Sometimes, just using
Simpson's rule is easier than going for Gaussian integration.
