Import GROMACS 4.0.7 as biology/gromacs.
From pkgsrc-wip, packaged originally by Peter Ibsen Hansen. GROMACS is a versatile package to perform molecular dynamics, i.e. simulate the Newtonian equations of motion for systems with hundreds to millions of particles.

+GROMACS is a versatile package to perform molecular dynamics,
+i.e. simulate the Newtonian equations of motion for systems with
+hundreds to millions of particles.
+
+It is primarily designed for biochemical molecules like proteins,
+lipids and nucleic acids that have a lot of complicated bonded
+interactions, but since GROMACS is extremely fast at calculating
+the nonbonded interactions (that usually dominate simulations)
+many groups are also using it for research on non-biological
+systems, e.g. polymers.
