// AliTrackResiduals: base class for collecting the track space point    *
// residuals produced by the fast track fitters (AliTrackFitter class).  *
// It provides an interface to the arrays which contain the space points *
// and track extrapolation points within the detector volume to be       *
// aligned. The derived classes should implement method to analyze the   *
// track residuals and minimize their sum in order to get the            *
// AliAlignObj for the given detector volume.                            *
