[Rivet] Ok for Rivet 2.5.0 beta1?

[Andy Buckley]

I've heard no complaints and have finished the efficiency function stuff 
that I planned, so will put out a first beta later.

I also, after 10 years of it being dysfunctional, finally fixed the 
single Rivet analysis from ZEUS :-)  Or at least I think I did: a few 
things in the paper are vague, and since Pythia8 doesn't "do" ep 
scattering I don't have a handily configured generator to test with. Are 
there any handy e+p+ dijet photoproduction samples in HepMC format 
laying around, e.g. in our validation collection? Or could someone make 
some? ;-)

Cheers,
Andy
