hello, all:

i have updated the BLAST monte carlo so that it incorporates hadronic
interactions. now, for example, energy loss is registered in the neutron
counters when a neutron passes through.

one technical note... this update required switching over to the FLUKA
subroutines in order to handle hadronic interactions. however, according
to the comments in the FLUKA subroutines (see guser/guhadr.F in the GEANT
source code), FLUKA only "works" correctly for hadrons less than 250MeV;
above this, some sort of extrapolation is necessary. i guess some studies
must be done to see how well these extrapolations hold.
