Detailed Description

CA module to configure the (standalone) HLT for athena and athenaHLT.
There is a separate entry point for each application to tailor some
flags and services. All common code should go to runLTCfg(flags).

Usage:
  athena [options] TriggerJobOpts/runHLT.py [flags]
  athenaHLT [options] TriggerJobOpts.runHLT [flags]

  python -m TriggerJobOpts.runHLT  # not recommended (due to missing LD_PRELOADs)
