[Rivet] CMS_2015_I1370682.tgz

[Andy Buckley]

I've not looked at it yet, but my gut feeling is that new analysis/expt 
types like this are best included in the analysis plugin code itself, 
where they can go in an unnamed namespace to avoid symbol clashes.

That way the .cc file remains a self-contained implementation of the 
analysis, and does not require e.g. to be used with a version of Rivet 
new enough to contain CMS_PseudoTop_2015.

This will introduce some duplication -- at least, it will if there is 
more than one analysis for each iteration of the CMS PseudoTop class -- 
but I think it's worth that for the increased safety and analysis 
"encapsulation".

But I've not looked at the code yet; I guess I'm likely to have some 
opinions about it ;-)
