Hi,

finally I have tested and submitted the MPS changes to the CVS 
repository. The changes were checked out in the common MP area under 
CMSSW_4_2_4_patch1_TkAl1, CMSSW_4_2_4_patch1_TkAl2 and 
CMSSW_4_2_4_patch1_TkAl3.

As MSSDIR you have to provide e.g. to mps_setup.pl something like 
/store/caf/user/jbehr/MPproduction/mp0827 and MSSDIRPOOL has to be 
cmscafuser. Currently, only with the latter option MPS will work.

Cheers,
Joerg
