Does this implies,
1. ROOT will have GEANT4 dependency and will be "obligated" to advice
how
to install Geant4?
2. ROOT team has to make sure that interface works for
all ROOT officially supported platforms?
3. One has to keep tracking all Geant4 movements to be consistent.
My personal opinion <ROOT - "some concrete application"> interface
should be kept with that application rather with ROOT.
On other hand some non-Geant4 specific ("abstract" GUI) classes would
have been highly appreciated as a part of ROOT.
I think, this answers the Guy Barrand's question:
> "Why not integrate G4UIRoot into the ROOT official releases?"
For me this implies Geant4 team finds no interest to support this
interface doesn't it?
No wonder one can find other reasons why such generic package as ROOT
should not include the interface to such special application like
Geant4.
