[ROOT] Qt version of ROOT for Windows !

The "evaluation" version of ROOT package based on Qt interface is ready to 
download from:

http://www.usatlas.bnl.gov/~fine/HomeRoot.html

What is it ?

   It is a regular ROOT version 3.02 built from the CERN repository
   for WIN32 platform "as is". Plus it contains one extra DLL, namely.
   libQt.DLL.
   The last one is a restricted Qt-based implementation of the TVirtualX ROOT abstract interface
   with the low level local graphics subsystem (X11 or Win32 for example) and other abstract 
   interfaces those the TGUIFactory ROOT class is supposed to provide:

    TCanvasImp
    TBrowserImp
    TContextMenuImp
    TControlBarImp
    TInspectorImp

 (No OpenGL viewer for the time being, sorry)

 This means these implementations contain no WIN32 API or Microsoft MFC calls.
 They are based on Qt cross-platform class library only.

 libQt.dll contains the evaluation version of Qt system also. 

 No extra software has to be installed to trial it.
 No change of your code is expected. 
 No recompilation of your code is required.

 See: http://www.usatlas.bnl.gov/~fine/QtRoot/QtRoot.html for details.

 Any comments are welcome.

 Special thanks to Anton Fokin and folks from US Atlas at BNL

 Enjoy.

           Best regards, Valeri
