Sorry - I missed, and thought we had ported most of the input
generators to Avogadro 2 it. It is in the quantuminput folder which is
kind of confusing ;-) I would love to look at porting it too, and
seeing what options people might like there. Thanks for pointing that
out.

That would be great to look into, I would really like to extend what
we do to some of the major MD codes.

If I came out to Pittsburgh is there any chance of meeting with some
of them do you think? I would love to explore this further, and have
been digging into LAMMPS and GROMACS.

Thanks,
