Excellent :)

No, Lars has said that this isn't to be included, so I'll remove its
factory method from the standard analyses list before building the
release tarball.

Thanks - that was a one-missing-character bug. All the best ones are!
It's now sorted, so can you try again?

Painful detail: the FastJet build on lxplus has been made with the CGAL
library, but it doesn't declare that dependency and the CGAL development
package (which provides the libCGAL.so symlink) isn't installed. The
work-around hack involves setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH to include the CGAL
directory, but a lack of a backslash meant that it didn't get applied to
the Rivet configure. This is a bug in FastJet and I should report it to
Gavin. Have a look in rivet-bootstrap to see the load of hacky stuff
that has to be done to the Rivet build on lxplus before it works :(
