Hi Gavin,

Thanks for the pointer... I'll change the WFinder to make the cuts on 
the transverse mass.

I don't want to mess with other projection interfaces too much before 
version 2.0, since I want to introduce a general set of "momentum 
selecting" objects to replace the current (incomplete) plethora of 
different constructor arguments, properties, methods, etc. ... you'll 
see what I mean when it appears ;)
