The GW150914 example currently uses its own thornlist, because Llama was
not part of the ET when it was created. Llama has now been added to the
ET. The GW150914 thornlist uses WaveExtractCPM and ADMConstraints. These
can probably be removed, for the sake of having a parameter file which
works with the ET thornlist. ADMConstraints can be replaced with
ML_ADMConstraints. WaveExtractCPM is an "in-development" code which has
not been extensively tested. It gives the GW strain directly from
Schwarzschild perturbation theory, without needing to go via fixed-
frequency integration of Psi4, so is good for quick plots. However, it
seems to give worse results than Psi4 for the ringdown, and possibly has
bugs in some of the l > 2 modes, so I don't think it is ready for
inclusion in the toolkit just yet.
