 *
 * Revision 1.23  2007/02/21 23:19:36  calderon
 * Remove the forcing of the Ghost loop to be "off" by checking the filename.
 * This caused problems for embedding when the Ghost loop was requested (the check
 * overrode the request).  Now, the check only displays a message in the log
 * saying that the Ghost loop is turned on.
 *
 * Revision 1.22  2006/08/05 01:07:45  calderon
 * Modified some debugging printouts.
 *
 * Revision 1.21  2006/07/24 19:04:11  calderon
 * Added parent key data member to StTinyMcTrack.
 * Added reco key data member to StTinyRcTrack.
 * Added code to fill in those data members to StMiniMcMaker.  Parent key for
 * MC tracks is only filled when track has a valid parent().
 *
 * Revision 1.20  2006/05/22 18:55:16  calderon
 * Changes from the original code by Bum to comply with STAR coding standards.
 * First thing is to change the name of the "Helper" file to something that is more in line with the file naming convention.
 * This does not fully solve all possible hiccups, because all the functions
 * in the "helper" file are defined in global scope.
 *
 * Revision 1.19  2005/09/29 15:53:08  fisyak
 * Persistent StMcEvent
 *
 * Revision 1.18  2004/07/27 19:34:34  jeromel
 * Patch for pileup. Not a primary => a parent but in pileup, not true anymore ...
 *
 * Revision 1.17  2004/05/03 23:28:39  perev
 * double delete of TTree fixed. TFile deletes it himself
 *
 * Revision 1.16  2004/03/31 23:44:36  calderon
 * Function to find the dominatrack, the number of hits belonging to the
 * dominatrack and the average hit quality of those hits (based on idTruth and
 * quality of StHit).
 *
 * Revision 1.15  2004/03/30 03:16:15  calderon
 * Modifications for running in bfc.
 *  - Changed to use StiIOInterface (IOMaker in normal mode, TreeMaker in bfc)
 *  - Cleaned up Init(), InitRun() to handle the changing file names.
 *  - Initialize lots of variables and pointers in constructor.
 *  - Delete some pointers in Finish (deleting the TTree causes a seg fault, though.)
 *  - Note that currently the StHits in the ITTF chain don't have a usedInFit() flag,
 *    so there will be many messages complaining about this.
 *  - Removed the mDebug data member, every Maker already has one, so change
 *    to use that throughout the package.
 *
 * Revision 1.14  2004/03/15 18:59:47  calderon
 * - Added support for encoded common hits.  Now the common hits of the TPC and
 * the SVT are stored, with the corresponding methods to decode and return these
 * values.
 * - Added protection for tracks with no particle definition.
 * - Added () around call to mcMergedPair[i] to make Insure++ happy.
 *
 * Revision 1.13  2004/01/26 13:59:26  calderon
 * Added the code to fill the global track matches of StMiniMcEvent.
 *
 * Revision 1.12  2003/09/02 17:58:43  perev
 * gcc 3.2 updates + WarnOff
 *
 * Revision 1.11  2003/07/09 01:07:23  calderon
 * Addition of FTPC reference multiplicity
 * Addition of other multiplicity values for StMiniMcEvent
 * Changes to reflect the use of the setters and getters, no longer
 * access the data members directly.
 *
 * Revision 1.10  2003/05/14 00:12:20  calderon
 * The minimc replaces now whatever it finds between the first and last '.', not
 * just geant.root, in the creation of the output file name.
 *
 * Curvature, tan(lambda) and Covariance matrix diagonal elements are now stored
 * in rcTrack, for both primary and global tracks.
 *
 * Revision 1.9  2003/05/08 02:11:43  calderon
 * Set the data members for the Svt and Ftpc hits for constMcTrack and for the Svt and Ftpc
 * fit points for the RcTrack.
 * Use primary track for the fit points in all cases, not the global tracks.
 * Selection of West or East Ftpc is based on eta>1.8 or eta<1.8
 *
 * Revision 1.8  2002/06/28 22:15:12  calderon
 * Changes to deal with seg. faults in the file name handling:
 * Conventions:
 * StMiniMcMaker looks for the input file from the IO maker to figure out
 * if the file has changed.  This is done using TString::Contains() in Make().
 * Usually we will run one file at a time, but in order not to break Bum's scheme of being
 * able to process several files in one go, this is left as is.  However, for
 * embedding, the file name is not enough, in Eric's new scheme there are repeated
 * file names.  This is resolved by adding a prefix to the output file name.  However,
 * this prefix should not be overwritten, so the current code only replaces the
 * string inside the output file name pertaining to the input file name, and leaves
 * the prefix of the output file intact.  This was done for embedding looking for
 * st_physics, and here is where the problem arose: hijing files begin with a different
 * prefix.  To solve this problem, the input file name prefix is now an input parameter
 * in the macro.
 *
 * StMiniEmbed.C and StMiniHijing.C now conform to this convention.  StMiniEmbed.C
 * did not change its prototype, because all embedding files have st_phyics as prefix.
 * StMiniHijing.C changed its prototype, now it takes as an input argument the prefix,
 * but in order not to break Jenn's scripts if she was already using this macro,
 * this parameter was added at the end and defaults to "rcf", which is appropriate
 * for hijing files reconstructed in rcf.

 * Revision 1.7  2002/06/27 17:30:58  jeromel
 * Bug fix. NULL+1 caused a crash ...
 *
 * Revision 1.6  2002/06/11 19:09:35  calderon
 * Bug fix: the filename that was set in the macro was being overwritten
 * in InitRun, so the emb80x string which was added to the filename was lost.
 * This was fixed by not replacing the filename in InitRun and only replacing
 * the current filename starting from st_physics.
