/// \class AliMUONRecoCheck
/// Utility class to check reconstruction
/// Reconstructed tracks are compared to reference tracks. 
/// The reference tracks are built from AliTrackReference for the
/// hit in chamber (0..9) and from kinematics for the vertex parameters.     
//-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

// 13 Nov 2007:
// Added a method to create a list of reconstructed AliMUONTrack objects from
// ESD data. This is necessary since the track objects that are actually created
// during offline reconstruction are no longer stored to disk.
//  - Artur Szostak <artursz@iafrica.com>
// 25 Jan 2008:
// Use the new ESDInterface to create MUON objects from ESD data
