Re: Inconsist in Makefile for Geant4 and ROOT functionality.

Hi Fons,

Thank you.
I have committed the same changes also in other makefiles (geant3, fluka_vmc and geant4_vmc/examples). And I put back the setting based on ROOTSYS in geant4_vmc Makefile, so that people can use development version of geant4_vmc with tagged Root.

Best regards,

Ivana
