[Rivet] Various things for Rivet

[Andy Buckley]

Hi Christian,

It's summertime, so the Rivet core team are all over the place between 
holidays and workshops... we've not had free time to get going on this 
importing yet!

I think the smoothest way will be to wait for Rivet 2.6.0 (which should 
not be a long wait), since there are so many structural changes in the 
default branch where that's being developed, relative to the 2.5.x 
releases. Once 2.6 is out, we have a stable platform for pulling in some 
of your additions. Some others overlap with the contents of the 3.0 
multi-weight branch, so we'll have to be careful about how those are 
merged but I'm sure we can do it.

Sorry about the blockers to progress... but we'll get there before too 
long :-)

Andy

PS. Will you be at the HI jets workshop at CERN this month? I can't 
attend, but it's likely that Christian Bierlich will, and I'll be 
Vidyo'ing in as much as possible.
