Dave,

I've updated my local amber9/pbsa code, and am in the process of testing
pbsa against delphi. I found two cases that the difference between the
two is larger than 1%. I'm looking into these right now. I think I can
meet the deadline in checking all features in pbsa: new Coulombic
energy, new pbradii, and new nonpolar/SA solvent. All are with test
cases and tutorials.

All the best,
Ray
