 After building GEAR you can try out an example:

  ./bin/testgear example/gear_ldc.xml


 binary tools:

  mergeXMl:   merges two xml files -> can be used to add additional parameters 
              to an xml file that has been automatically created (by Mokka)

  printParameters:  print detector parameters 
                    (slighly more human readable then xml)
