Atom names in an input pdb *must* match those in the library. For the
standard Amber water model, the residue name is "WAT", and the atom names are
"O", "H1" and "H2".

It may be obvious to a human (who is familiar with molecular modeling) that a
residue named "TIP3" is probably a water molecule, and that if one atom stats
with the letter "O", that is probably the oxygen atom.

But LEaP is restricted to examining the pdb file to see if there is an exact
match to something in a loaded library.
