Hmm, I must be forgetting an update to the testApi file. This is the
preferred "future-proof" way, but IIRC _rivet->commitData() should work
in 1.2.1. We can put in some #defines to help with detecting available
features, cf. HepMC, if that would be useful:
include/Rivet/Config/RivetConfig.hh.in would be the best place for
things like this, e.g. RIVET_HAS_WRITEDATA.

Sorry about the motion in the AIDA part of the API: the intention is to
make the public interface independent of the underlying histogramming so
that we can move over to YODA. In an ideal world it would have been an
overnight switch with temporary pain, not this drawn-out process :(
