[Rivet] Problems with Rivet2

[David Bjergaard]

It may or may not be helpful, but I've seen weird stuff like this when
asetup or ATLAS tools clobber the PATH so badly that things break.
Restarting from a clean shell (and setting up again) usually does the
trick.

Is there a way to setup something like 'localSetupRivet' to avoid all of
the extra stuff set by asetup?
