James is talking about a Mac-specific behaviour. Since HepMC doesn't use
libtool, that sort of platform anomaly doesn't surprise me.

I'm with Jon on the "not distributing HepMC" though: after all the trouble with
various versions in the past, the last thing we want to do is start a "CEDAR
HepMC" fork! Since it's only affecting James at the moment, I suggest we take
that tarball off and make sure that the next version of HepMC builds correctly
on Macs.

Incidentally, continuing on the HepMC note, I've converted RivetGun to use the
GenEvent::clear() method, which we requested some time ago, since otherwise
RivetGun can't use HepMC 2.01 and higher. Hopefully everyone is using a new
enough version - if not, you'll need to upgrade.
