The 'closest' command will retain only the specified number of solvent
molecules (removing the rest), so the resulting topology will differ
from the original topology. The new topology corresponds to the new
pared-down system.

It's only necessary if you want to e.g. process an output trajectory
generated after the 'closest' command. If you use an output trajectory
format that has some topology information (like mol2) the topology
generated by 'closest' may be unnecessary (although it won't have
things like angle/nonbond/etc parameters).
