I'm using `grav_boundary_type = "isolated"' in every run. Maybe this isn't 
supported, but both 2D and 3D setups does not complain about that. I made 
integrations once more (third or fourth time) and found the missing factor. 
I'm sorry about the mess.

Well, this was just an experiment. If it produces strange results in simple 
case, I'd rather not trust it and use multigrid submodule.
