//  AlpgenHooks: a UserHooks derived class provided by 'LHAupAlpgen.h'
//               for reading in ALPGEN format event files
//  MLMhooks:    a UserHooks derived class provided by 'MLMhooks.h'
//               for performing the MLM merging procedure
// Some user supplied options are available, made functional through
// these two UserHooks, and are described in the 'Alpgen and MLM Merging'
// manual page. Further details of the different classes provided
// in these header files is also given on the manual page.
