 * \brief Macro used to generate lookup tables for the hit reconstructor components.
 *
 * This macro is used to generate the lookup tables for the hit reconstructor
 * component. All alignment and geometry data is taken from the CDB.
 *
 * \note The LUT files must be generated on the same platform / machine on which
 * they will be used, since they may not be binary compatible across platforms.
 *
 * To run this macro copy "rootlogon.C" from $ALICE_ROOT/HLT/MUON/macros
 * into the current directory, then from the shell command prompt run one of
 * the following commands:
 * \code
 *   > aliroot $ALICE_ROOT/HLT/MUON/macros/CreateHitRecoLookupTables.C
 * \endcode
 * or
 * \code
 *   > aliroot -b -q -l $ALICE_ROOT/HLT/MUON/macros/CreateHitRecoLookupTables.C+
 * \endcode

Run Info: To run this macro copy "rootlogon.C" from $ALICE_ROOT/HLT/MUON/macros
  into the current directory then compile and run from inside AliRoot using
      root [0] .x CreateHitRecoLookupTables.C+

18 Apr 2008: Moved lookup table generation code to the AliHLTMUONHitReconstructorComponent
component since it is required there anyway and we want to avoid code duplication.
This also makes this macro much cleaner.
