Done, it's a named branch to allow...

So as usual we need to make sure we check in things on the right branch!
The default branch can now lose all functionality needed for 2.0.0
compatibility.

The download URL is

 http://rivet.hepforge.org/hg/bootstrap/raw-file/2.0.0/rivet-2-bootstrap

Yes, I think it does not belong _inside_ Rivet. It's something external
that needs bugfixes independently of the main Rivet tags.

See you,
