Geant4 VMC v2.6:
   - Adaptation to the new TGeo mag field interface
   - Implemented TVirtualMC::SetUserDecay
   - Including the names of Root assemblies in volume names
     when exporting Root geometry in Geant4 (optinal)
   - Removing G4VisManager inheritance from TG4VisManager;
     G4VisExecutive is now used for instantiating G4 visualzation
     drivers
   Fixes:


     - Fix in mapping primary particles Ids in TG4TrackManager.

     - Increase copyNo from divisions by 1 when running with G4 native

       geometry (to be compatible with TGeo numbering.)


     - Migration to gcc 4.3.2


   VMC Examples:


     - Migration to the new TGeo mag field interface

     - Material definition using directly Root objects,

     - Added test for user decay (in E03)

     - Macro g4libs.C replaced with a new one using Geant4 liblist;

       thanks to Ch.H. Christensen and D. Naumov for this development.
