[CP2K:567] Re: Cygwin port to windows command-line

[Jack Shultz]

Looks like they are going to give me a fee waiver for Amber, plus I'm
optimistic since they are telling me they are moving towards a license that
will allow grid computing project such as mine.

I also got to chating with Gromacs folk and they tell me there is a a GPL
mopack version which would allow me to try some of the analysis I'm
proposing.

I may be superfically looking at a bunch of these chemistry packages for
now. When I feel confident about one, I'll get more meticulous about all the
examples as you point out. For now I am try to at least stumble around.
