[ROOT] static consts as class members

Hello,

I wonder, why I cannot use consts as static class members. 

class TAFextPropHit : public TObject {
public:
	static const Int_t kSignalCount = 8;
	static const Float_t kScaleFactor = 1.5;

	TAFextPropHit();
	virtual ~TAFextPropHit();
	...

	ClassDef(TAFextPropHit, 1)
	...	
};

The class above will compile, but the shareable library built out of it will
not load into the ROOT runtime. 

Of course, for integer-like constants one can use enums, but what about
floating-point or string types ?

Thanks,
Andriy.
