[Rivet] Rivet 2.0.0rc (release candidate) for testing

[Dmitri Konstantinov]

Hi Andy,

Great news! :)

 From genser side we have added Rivet 2.0.0rc and YODA 1.0.3 to our 
preview configuration.
It was successfully compiled for x86_64-slc6-gcc48-opt, 
x86_64-slc6-gcc46-opt, x86_64-slc5-gcc46-opt, x86_64-mac108-gcc42.

Though I have not tried to run rivet itself.

Cheers,
        Dima
