rootcint: processing of #pragma directives

	Hello, 

I'm hitting the same problem the second time, so I believe it deserves to be 
reminded.

	Right now (this has been discussed some time ago in the thread 
	"Rootcint and linear algebra classes") rootcint *ignores* "#pragma link"
	directives in the processed include files themselves. Instead it
	can generate LinkDef.h automatically by just looking at the names of 
	the input files. This imposes the following rules:

- each include file should contain definition of one and only one class;
- include file name should coinside with the class name (spelled in right case!)
  minus extention.

	may be everybody follow these rules by default but sometimes this
	feature is pretty inconvenient... And after looking over the 
	documentation again I didn't find this feature described. May be I just 
	missed it, if not - it definitely deserves to be added (*in red*)
	to the section "CINT as Dictionary Generator".

	It seems to be reasonable if rootcint could process
	#pragma directives from the input files.

					Regards, Pasha.
