Detailed Description

This is a base class for classes implementing a main steering routine for running an EventGenerator, in case the standard 'go()' function in the EventGenerator is not enough.

An example is a EventGenerator where the class deriving from Main specifies an initial set of partons which should be cascaded and hadronized etc.

The derived class will be dynamically loaded by the standard runThePEG program and the static Init() function will be run. The loaded EventGenerator will then be available in the static eventGenerator() function. In addition the number of events requested from the command line will be available from the N() function. All other command-line arguments will be available from the arguments() function.
