[Rivet] Plots normalized to cross section

Hi all,

I wanted to ask if it is possible to generate plots normalized to cross
section for the standard analysis - without changing these. More
precisely, rather than plotting d\sigma/dO, I would like to look at
1/\sigma d\sigma/dO. That would be quite useful for processes where
k-factors are rather constant over phasespace and well-known, e.g. for
Drell-Yan with somewhat large cut on the first jet, when comparing LO
predictions with data.

Is it possible to tell rivet to produce histograms in 1/\sigma d\sigma/dO
(or maybe both varieties d\sigma/dO1 and 1/\sigma d\sigma/dO ?)? If not,
is it likely that such  a feature will be added in a future release?

Thanks a lot in advance,
Stefan
