GENIE is too noisy

[cwilkinson]

Can we suppress GENIE messages when reweighting? It prints reams of unnecessary information. I guess all generators could cause a similar issue, but GENIE seems to be the main culprit.

GENIE is too noisy! Those kids keep going on my damn lawn again!

We can probably redirect the standard out file descriptor before (and return after) calls to GENIE libs so that output is suppressed. Something like:

  static std::streambuf CacheBuff* = NULL;
  void ShhGENIE() {
    CacheBuff = std::cout.rdbuf(); // save original sbuf
    std::ofstream   fout("/dev/null");
    std::cout.rdbuf(fout.rdbuf()); // redirect 'cout' to a 'fout'
  }
  void YouCanSpeakNowGENIE(){ std::cout.rdbug(CacheBuff); }

Normal std::cout and std::cerr behaviour can be stopped and restored with:
StopTalking?()
StartTalking?()
