One other from me: can someone fill in the "quick start" page on the
Rivet wiki? I just want it to be a cut 'n' paste collection of commands
for rivetgun AND rivet, showing use of "rivetgun -g", "rivetgun -i" and
the "mkfifo" strategy, as well as the rivet --list-analyses and
--show-analysis commands.

It would also be nice to have a similar page for AGILe to show off the
agile-runmc command, but we'll add that when the Python interface is "live".

I don't know if the data is available yet: we had the HepData steering
meeting today and Mike has been busy in the run-up to that. Did he need
to encode new data or just dump the database? I've added a ticket about
this so I don't forget.

Ah, my misunderstanding!

That would be nice. The easiest one to compare against would be Pythia 6
of course: if you let me know which analyses are of most interest, I'll
make sure that the Pythia setup in the validator looks good for them.
