Just curious: changes to firmware are accomodated by just making a new core_X directory? What happens if those 1024 line data files change (LUTs?)... that is just a new firmware version?

the new core directory is needed to emulate what has been changed to the firmware in hardware. There is a standard fpga to cpp converter used here. The other changes in the classes are needed to make sure one used the new additional information from new added CSC chambers/electronics (as the firmware is internally doing)

This pull request is fully signed and it will be integrated in one of the next CMSSW_7_2_X IBs unless changes (tests are also fine).
