Remember that for flexible waters, you have to issue the instruction
"set default FlexibleWater on"; otherwise LEaP assumes that you have a rigid
water, and removes all of the angle terms.

[To developers: this is a very easy thing to miss, but I don't see a good way
to automatically set this parameter; could loading a flexible water frcmod
somehow trigger the right behavior automagically?]
