Re: Thermodynamic Integration document

Unfortunately (?) TI has somewhat fallen out of disuse in the mid recent
NAMD releases in favor of FEP/BAR. There are still descriptions of the
relevant keywords in the user guide and a brief description of the method.

One subtle aspect that probably deserves better explanation is that the
decomposed derivatives can be tricky to integrate if you are using a
staggered lambda schedule (such as the default). Other than that the
details of integration have always been left to the user.

I might recommend attempting some of the FEP tutorials using TI instead,
since the results ought to be the same.
