Not sure. Riccardo was getting bad answers with the current svn version, and gets better answers with the cleaned up one. The main point is I don't want to try to debug the old one.

The functionality provided in core.MonteCarlo should make that easier to implement as it exposes
do_move() to apply the movers
do_accept_or_reject_move(energy) to decide if that energy is good enough to accept everything that has happened
and a hook
do_step() so that individual implementations can do all the stuff they need to around moves and energy computations and stuff.
