No, force-matching is a non-iterative method, just follow section 4.3
of the manual first and then follow section 4.2.
And yes, most information needs to go into the <inverse>....</inverse>
block as csg_call makes use of the potential post-processing scripts
from boltzmann inversion.

It depends "convert_potential gromacs" will do all things listed at
the end of section 4.2.4.
However, sometimes you need to prepare the potential somehow first, e.g.
- throwing away under sampled regions
- clean up values at the boundaries etc.
And that is what sections 4.2.1 to 4.2.3 talk about.

>From my own experience, you first want to prepare and convert a couple
of potential by hand, before fully trusting "convert_potential
gromacs".
