[Rivet] MCT calculation in RIVET

[Andy Buckley]

Hi Simone,

I've been meaning to convert our existing MT2 implementation to use the 
newer Lester code for a while: is MCT also implemented in there?

If this would solve the problem, I'll get it done for you asap. I think 
it best that I do this, since that minimal library is *horribly* written 
for "transparent" embedding and I've already been through the thought 
process on how best to do it!

Andy
