/**
 * @class AliHLTGlobalHistoCollector
 * Implementation of the component to read histograms from other
 * components and add, divide etc.
 * The component implements the interface methods of the @ref AliHLTProcessor.
 *  
 * The component has the following component arguments:
 *
 * -sum-noise-histograms Loops over the output of TPCNoiseMap and sums the partition histograms
 *  They are sorted per TPC side.
 *
 * -sum-krypton-histograms Loops over the output of the krypton CF and sums the histograms
 * (it will become obsolete, when the next option does all the work)
 *
 * -use-general It will become the standard general option for summing histograms
 *
 * -ignore-specification It ignores the last part of the histogram name, if it has 
 * the form "_Slice_%.2d%.2d_Partition_%.2d%.2d, minSlice, maxSlice, minPartition, maxPartition".
 * It keeps the first part of the hist name and uses it to name the summed histogram.
 *
