Hi Ingo,
in addition to Victor's and Fons' answers.

I agree that it would be nice to formalize the relationship between
a class name and its shared lib. This would facilitate the search
and also the generation of the html index.
One could imagine a declaration in ClassDef/ClassImp or automatically
from the CVS directory.
Ideas are welcome.
