We still need to think about how to sensibly compare
yoda files from different generators though.
I.e. what to do if two generators do not follow the same
convention. The command line will get more ugly.

Maybe

    rivet-mkhtml   M1.yoda:Weight:"Generator 1"   M2.yoda:0:"Generator 2"

that would only solve the central weight problem, however, one could do

    rivet-mkhtml   M1.yoda:Weight:"Generator 1":MUR_1:MUF_1  
    M2.yoda:0:"Generator 2":mmmUR1:mmmUF2

that way one could freely define what goes into envelopes plus one could 
specify several different envelopes.

I regret having asked all those questions,
Holger
