I would suggest to implement exactly that in the version 4.
As David mentioned, there CAN occur problems with the differing parameters. In contrast to David, I experienced no general benefit in using different parameters for coulomb and vdw, what may be somehow my fault, or, more likely (maybe also less ;) ), depend on the system one perturbs.

If you would change the code somehow, that the parameters can be modified independendly, I would also suggest to implement a sort of sigmoidal behaviour for the lambda change. We did that for the 3.3.1 code, so I could, at least, provide you with the basic code for that.
