Re: [BLAST_ANAWARE] MC helicity and target spin question

I just want to emphasize again the point that eventually the montecarlo
should spit out 6 tgt bits + 1 (beam helicity) just as we do in the
data. The price to pay is to have two different cuts and to have
additional montecarlo and data variable in the reconstruction.

Which may not be terrible but certainly not very consistent. I
certainly hope this is the way dgen is going to evolve.
