[Rivet] problems with RivetGun/Alpgen

[renkel at physics.smu.edu]

Hi Andy, Regretfully, I am running this at FermiLab. I am using 
rivet-bootstrap which has an option --install-agile. This installs 
agile to my area. I don't have SVN here at FNAL, only CVS. Can you help 
me and say what I should do to get it from your SVN? I can use my 
lxplus account to install it there and then move FNAL, but will it work?

Peter.
