[Rivet] MCT calculation in RIVET

[Andy Buckley]

Hi Simone,

Hmm, I had had the single-header version of the MT2 library in mind. 
This thing is a bit less obvious for embedding... a growing problem with 
Rivet analyses, cf. FastJet contrib.

Is this a code for personal use, or you plan to submit it to Rivet? If 
the former, you can link analyses (either statically or dynamically) 
against extra libraries just by adding -L and -l flags to the end of the 
rivet-buildplugin command-line. To save you time while I work out what 
best to do with this thing...

Andy
