Class Description

                                                                      
 TPacketGenerator                                                     
                                                                      
 This class generates packets to be processed on PROOF slave servers. 
 A packet is an entry range (begin entry and number of entries).      
 Packets are generated taking into account the performance of the     
 remote machine, the time it took to process a previous packet on     
 the remote machine, the locality of the database files, etc.         
                                                                      

 Private default ctor.

 Initialize TPacketGenerator using a TTree and a list of slave processors.

 Initialize TPacketGenerator using the total number of entries, the
 initial packet size and the list of slaves.

 TPacketGenerator dtor. Deletes the list of packets.

 Initialize the TPacketGenerator. Called by the ctors.

 Return number of entries processed by slave sl.

 Get next packet for slave sl. Returns kTRUE and sets first and nentry.
 In case no more packets return kFALSE (and set first and nentry == 0).
 The packet size for a slave is a linear function of the time diff between
 the processing of two packets relative to the fastest slave (i.e. the one
 with the smallest time diff). The fastest slave always processes
 packets of size fTree->GetPacketSize() (or of the size specified in
 the TPacketGenerator ctor).

 Number of packets generated.

 Prints info about the packet generator. If option is "all", print also
 info about all packets.

 Reset the packet generator for a new cycle.

 Set minimum packet size. The default is 20% of the initial packet size
 (in case of TTree's the initial packet size is set in via
 TTree::SetPacketSize() and its default is 100).
