Well, let me emphasize that the pre-simulation feature is only
implemented for Gromacs, but not for the LAMMPS or any other
simulation back-end.

The lower limit comes from two facts:
1.) The Boltzmann inverted potential for g(r)=0 is undefined as log(0)=-inf.
2.) The Boltzmann update is also undefined for g(r)=0 and even worse
for values close to 0 (which are 0 in some iterations and else not)
the update systematically goes in one direction.
VOTCA has some magic tricks to work around these issues, but it is
much cleaner to let the user decide where to calculate the update.
In addition, in the case of LAMMPS there is a table_begin option,
which tells VOTCA how far from min the table should be extrapolated.

Is there something I need to look at or do you just wanted to share
them? Would it make sense to add them to our csg-tutorial repository?

Writing the parameters to spce.in could be done, but remember that
VOTCA supports basically any functional form for the potential that
gnuplot can parse.
This is a much bigger set of potentials than what LAMMPS and
especially GROMACS supports and hence taking the detour over tabulated
potential makes sense.
