[Rivet] rivet-mkhtml only taking certain changes from .plot file

[Andy Buckley]

Hmm,

The pattern matching in the PLOT sections uses regular expression syntax 
rather than "globbing" as you're using. So "ZpJet/*" will match "ZpJet" 
followed by any number of "/", including zero. Probably that still 
matches and works, but maybe a similar regex problem could be making 
something else override the /JEWEL_ZpJet/Z_mass values? Does the "what 
you had before" setting come after that in the .plot file, or match more 
closely?
