Hi James, with the next release we will try to automate the build for the image classes (pack libAfterImage in root cvs). We will also enable the exception handling flag in cint (seems there are no side effects). Concerning long long, everything is ready for ROOT to have it as built-in type only Masa still hesitates because he fears portability issues (for all ROOT supported platforms long long is ok). When the next release will be is not yet sure. Probably a little before CHEP (March 23-30), but we are very busy at the moment... Cheers, Fons.
