Just my few thaughts: I had a quick look at the sources. Really large. >From my point of view, it would profit if the build system will be converted to use autoheader, autoconf,automake,configure, libtool Do I understand the source correct, ROOT comes with a copy of 'cint'. Is this necessary or can it use an existing 'cint'? Would reduce the source by ~15% and also the configure/compile effort.
