David,
Following up on your first point, if you do want to constrain them to
specific values in the libraries, then you could do that in the same
fashion. You can build a qin file like they do in the tutorial, or list out
the values in your resp.in file like such:

"1 -0.4157
1 7" ...
# where 1 is number of atoms, charge
# molecule 1, atom 7
