I might add that although the waters are not inside the cell, all relevant
interactions are imaged---that is, nonbond interactions are calculated
using the periodic images of the waters that are inside the cell---the
atoms are deliberately not wrapped back into the cell during the
simulation to facilitate analysis of motions
