Hi Paolo,

   there is no difference between the rootcint -p option
or the LinkDef.h #pragma preprocess option. If a header
causes problems with -p it will also cause problems with
#pragma preprocess. The #pragma should be used to selectively
preprocess headers that don't cause problems, but for which
the preprocessed info is important for rootcint. I use this
pragma to preprocess some X11 and Xm headers.

Cheers, Fons.
