[Rivet] Rivet with Rapgap

[Hardeep Bansil]

Hi Andy,

It has been a while since I sent out my original message but I would like 
to try using Rapgap with Rivet again.

I am not sure whether it is possible but I would like to suggest 
either that the 'ignorebeams' option can be used again to fix the 
incompatible beams warning that I still get or to have a version of 
Rapgap available through AGILe on lxplus at CERN (you said that someone 
called Holger provided support for this so should I contact them?).

Thanks,
Hardeep
