Aha... I didn't notice, since I just need to "svn up" to get the 
Professor updates ;)

Sounds good to me! As David has said, having Herwig++ and Pythia 8 in 
addition to Sherpa would make it a very useful system for use in a 
summer school in September, so I think they are worth putting in. If the 
sources are removed, as I think you were doing, they hopefully won't add 
an enormous amount to the current size.

Thanks!
Andy
