[Rivet] CascadePythia6

[Andy Buckley]

Hi again Anton,

We sorted out our concerns about the JIMMY interfaces -- no problem, 
fortunately, just my paranoia -- and I've made a new AGILe-1.3.0beta1 
tarball, available for download from the usual place on HepForge.

Would you be able to test this and the new Rivet-1.5.2b0 tarball on the 
dev mcplots server in the next few days? Once we get the all-clear from 
you, we'll release them both.

Thanks again,
Andy
