[G12] GFlux

Greetings,

If I understood Eugene correctly, then what I did was plot the beam 
energy in 6 MeV bins for all events from the pi0.
I also did this for the Glux, by creating a histogram of the output of 
Johann's glfux calculator.

I am attaching the results, but saving judgment until my mistakes are 
pointed out.
