[Rivet] Rivet 2.6.0 integration problems in CMS sosftware

[David Grellscheid]

Hi Xavier,

you can rename some of the folders in "analyses/". If the name does not
start with "plugin", the compile will be skipped.

Are you compiling Rivet in a threaded environment with explicit TLS
choices?

Thanks,

  David
