+Cactus Code Thorn EHFinder
+Authors : Peter Diener
+CVS info : $Header$
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Purpose of the thorn:
+
+To find the event horizon of a numerical spacetime by integrating a null
+surface backwards in time. The basic equation is equation 2 in Anninos et. al,
+Physical Review Letters, 74, 630, 1995.
+
+The surface will be parametrized as the 0 value isosurface of a level
+set function. Hopefully this will work when the topology changes from
+one common event horizon to two individual event horizons.
