Amber no longer has any internal idea of what atoms belong to the "solute"
and which ones to the "solvent". I suspect that everything is treated as
solute, which is why solute and system are the same, and that the "solvent"
number is just random garbage left over from earlier code. My comments are
based on sander...Bob may know more about what is going on with pmemd.
