[Rivet] units in Rivet

[Andy Buckley]

Hi Hannes,

The HepMC units debacle continues! Are you reading the exact same HepMC
events into Rivet on both machines? This would eliminate one source of
error: dump the PYTHIA events to a file, and check what the units and
beam energy values are in that file, then try reading the same file into
Rivet on both machines. If there is a problem, then it sounds like we
need to fix something... or HepMC does.

What HepMC, Rivet, etc. versions are you using?

Cheers,
Andy
