first version of skimmer committed



I have just committed the first version of the raw data skimmer.
To use it, you will need to "cvs update" your "mu/compress" 
directory and rebuild there, since there is now code to compress
and uncompress the HITS and STCK banks.

The following MODULES file will then give you a skimmer:
MUnCompressRawData
MUnDuplicator
MCaenCompProcessRaw
MRolloverCheckMQL
MRolloverCheckC
MTDC400ProcessRaw
MMuSCAnalysisMQL
MMuSCAnalysisC
MSkimmerMQL
MSkimmerC

which you can use with "./mu -i run00000.mid -o skim00000.mid" or
something of the kind. 

Output files seem to come out at about 15-20% of the size of the input
file, as we expected.

At this point, I would say that it's suitable for initial testing only, 
not yet for production use.  At this point, if it breaks, you get to
keep both pieces. :-)

The next issue that I will look at is that there are lots of mismatched
CAEN/COMP eSC hits; I don't think it's necessarily a mistake, just that 
real hits are cut at the boundaries of the accepted time windows.  
Consequently, I think that we should move the block cut on CAEN/COMP 
mismatches before the skimming stage.  I will look into doing that.

Thanks,
