 * A light weight class for reading the contents of an internal dimuon HLT

 * stored in memory and the size of the data block is given by the variable 'size'.
 * The data block is of type 'block_type' and the data block entries are of type
 * 'entries_type'. The data block can be accessed in the following way:
 *
 *   void* buffer = somebuffer;
 *   AliHLTUInt32_t size = somebuffer_size;
 *   
 *   // Initialise the data block reader.
 *   AliHLTMUONDataBlockReader<block_type, entries_type> block(buffer, size);
 *   
 *   // Check that the buffer has the expected size.
 *   if (not block.BufferSizeOk())
 *   {
 *      // handle error...
 *   }
 *   
 *   // Find the number of entries in the data block.
 *   AliHLTUInt32_t nentries = block.Nentries();
 *   
 *   // Loop over all entries in the data block.
 *   for (AliHLTUInt32_t i = 0; i < nentries; i++)
 *   {
 *      const entries_type& entry = block[i];
