/// fastjet_timing.cc: Program to help time and test the fastjet package
/// 
/// It reads files containing multiple events in the format 
/// p1x p1y p1z E1
/// p2x p2y p2z E2
/// ...
/// #END
/// 
/// An example input file containing 10 events is included as 
/// data/Pythia-PtMin1000-LHC-10ev.dat
///
/// Usage:
///   fastjet_timing [-strategy NUMBER] [-repeat nrepeats] [-massive] \
///                  [-combine nevents] [-r Rparameter] [-incl ptmin] [...] \
///                  < data_file
///
/// where the clustering can be repeated to aid timing and multiple
/// events can be combined to get to larger multiplicities. Some options:
///
/// Options for reading
/// -------------------
///
///   -nev     n    number of events to run
///
///   -combine n    for combining multiple events from the data file in order
///                 to get a single high-multipicity event to run.
///
///   -massless     read in only the 3-momenta and deduce energies assuming
///                 that particles are massless
///
///   -dense        adds dense ghost coverage
///
///   -repeat n     repeats each event n times
///
///   -nhardest n   keep only the n hardest particles in the event
///
///   -file name    read from the corresponding file rather than stdin.
///                 (The file will be reopened for each new jet alg.; in
///                 constrast, if you use stdin, each new alg will take a
///                 new event).
/// 
/// Output Options
/// --------------
///
///   -incl ptmin   output of all inclusive jets with pt > ptmin is obtained
///                 with the -incl option.
///
///   -repeat-incl ptmin
///                 same as -incl ptmin but do it for each repetition
///                 of the clustering
///
///   -excld dcut   output of all exclusive jets as obtained in a clustering
///                 with dcut
///
///   -excly ycut   output of all exclusive jets as obtained in a clustering
///                 with ycut
///
///   -excln n      output of clustering to n exclusive jets
///
///   -ee-print     print things as px,py,pz,E
///
///   -get-all-dij  print out all dij values
///   -get-all-yij  print out all yij values
///
///   -const        show jet constituents (works with excl jets)
///
///   -write        for writing out detailed clustering sequence (valuable
///                 for testing purposes)
///
///   -unique_write writes out the sequence of dij's according to the
///                 "unique_history_order" (useful for verifying consistency
///                 between different clustering strategies).
///
///   -root file    sends output to file that can be read in with the script in
///                 root/ so as to show a lego-plot of the event
///
///   -cones        show extra info about internal steps for SISCone
///
///   -area         calculate areas. Additional options include
///                   -area:active
///                   -area:passive
///                   -area:explicit

///
///   -bkgd         calculate the background density. Additional options include
///                   -bkgd:csab       use the old ClusterSequenceAreaBase methods
///                   -bkgd:jetmedian  use the new JetMedianBackgroundEstimator class
///                   -bkgd:fj2        force jetmedian to calculate sigma as in fj2
///                   -bkgd:gridmedian use GridMedianBackgroundEstimator with grid up to ghost_maxrap-ktR and grid spacing of 2ktR
///
///   -compare-strategy STRAT
///                 compares the output of the default strategy (possibly as specified
