Use LEaP to create a prmtop file of the ligand, and then ambpdb with the -pqr
flag to create the pqr file.

Currently, it looks like antechamber can read pqr files but not write them.
Maybe this functionality can be added.

CAVEAT: The "ambpdb -pqr" program will transfer the charges from a gaff file
into the appropriate place in the pqr file. But gaff doesn't know anything
about dielectric radii. Ambpdb hard-codes these to Bondi radii. Check the
code to see what it is doing, or to change its behavior.
