// Description:
//      Track finder using the riemann circle fit
//
//      The algorithm can be configured with correlators 
//      (see PndTpcAbsHitTrackCorrelator)
//      For each hit all track candidates are tested
//      For each track the algorithm is stepping through the 
//      correlators which are in a hirarchical order. 
//      A correlator can be applicable or not. 
//      If it is applicalble to the hit/track combination and
//      the track survives, then the correlator delivers a matchQuality.
//      Finally the hit is added to the track candidate that 
//      reached the deepest correlator level and 
//      if there are ambiguities achieved the best machtQuality
//
// Environment:
//      Software developed for the PANDA Detector at FAIR.
