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

[Anton Karneyeu]

Hi Andy,

thanks for the new version!

Unfortunatelly mcplots is not yet started to test/use new Rivet2 and it 
will come not early than in a few weeks. So, please don't wait for 
mcplots feedback this time.

And for 1.8.4 we will start to use it as soon as it will be installed 
into GENSER repository.

I tried Dima's steps and the results is the same.
It seems the YODA library lookup path is missing in the rivetevn.sh, 
doing the definition manually helps:

==========================
$ export 
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/afs/cern.ch/cms/CAF/CMSCOMM/COMM_ECAL/dkonst/GENSER/lcgcmake-install-preview/MCGenerators_lcgcmtpreview/yoda/1.0.3/x86_64-slc6-gcc48-opt/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

$ rivet --help
Usage: Run Rivet analyses on inputted events from file or Unix pipe

Examples:
   rivet [options] <hepmcfile> [<hepmcfile2> ...]
   my_generator -o myfifo & \ rivet [options] myfifo
....
==============================

Cheers,
Anton
