Still problematic if the final PDB has a truncated octahedron box
because one needs to set a box before saving topology and coordinates.
The "setBox" command in leap only sets cubic boxes ... Sure, the
topology and the coordinate files can be then manually edited ....
Alternatively, one could also create an additional Leap library unit for
the water residues with modified residue name and then it should work as
well ...
So, yes, this may work with some manual intervention but still it would
be nice if "addIons" and "addIonsRand" would have an option to define
the solute/solvent from the command syntax.
