Let me comment on this point: the key item would be the intrinsic Born radii
for the "united atom" carbons. There aren't any analogs of this type of atom
in ff03, so some exploration and parameterization seems inevitable.

Maybe I am missing something here: I haven't yet had a chance to use ff03ua
myself.
