I hope so! (By the way there's a typo in my last sentence above:
obviously I meant to say that we only build the analysis that needs FJ3
is FJ3 is present, not FJ2!)

I'll need to work out a test for v3 anyway, to go into Rivet v2, and
once I've got that info it'll be easy to do the appropriate thing in the
Makefile.am.

Cool :-)
