This is wrong: no matter what you eventually intend to do with QM, in the MM
force field, if you are using TIPx waters, you need to make sure that the
waters are rigid.

This looks correct: LEaP removes all the H-O-H angle force field terms in
WAT residues, unless you issue the command "set default flexibleWater on".
