//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
//
// MEvtLoop
//
// This class is the core of each event processing.
// First you must set the parameter list to use. The parameter list
// must contain the task list (MTaskList) to use. The name of the task
// list can be specified if you call Eventloop. The standard name is
// "MTaskList". The name you specify must match the name of the MTaskList
// object.
//
// If you call Eventloop() first all PreProcess functions - with the
// parameter list as an argument - of the tasks in the task list are
// executed. If one of them returns kFALSE then the execution is stopped.
// If the preprocessing was ok, The Process function of the tasks are
// executed as long as one function returns kSTOP. Only the tasks which
// are marked as "All" or with a string which matches the MInputStreamID
// of MTaskList are executed. If one tasks returns kCONTINUE the pending
// tasks in the list are skipped and the execution in continued with
// the first one in the list.
// Afterwards the PostProcess functions are executed.
//
// If you want to display the progress in a gui you can use SetProgressBar
// and a TGProgressBar or a MProgressBar. If you set a MStatusDisplay
// using SetDisplay, the Progress bar from this display is used.
//
// You can create a macro from a completely setup eventloop by:
//   evtloop.MakeMacro("mymacro.C");
//
// You will always need to check the macro, it will not run, but it
// should have al important information.
//
//
// You can also write all this information to a root file:
//   TFile file("myfile.root");
//   evtloop.Write("MyEvtloopKey");
//
// You can afterwards read the information from an open file by:
//   evtloop.Read("MyEvtloopKey");
//
// To lookup the information write it to a file using MakeMacro
