/**
 * @struct AliHLTExternalTrackParam
 * This in a struct for tracks which are closer to the format used by offline.
 * The offline parametrisation we find in AliExternalTrackParam class.
 * The covariance matrix is in Double_t since this is the format in AliExternalTrackParam.
 * This saves time in translating from Float_t to Double_t. The other values has to be copied 
 * anyway, so these can be Float_t for saveing space.The charge is now removed and the Pt has a sign.
 *
 * The array of points is just appended to the structure. The member of array size 0
 * is not supported by all compilers. An open issue is that the code can not work if
 * the array size is 1, this was just added in order to make it compile.
