 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.
