Improve ROOT support
ROOT is a modular scientific software framework, a standard de-facto analysis tool in HEP, but used in other scientific and industrial areas too. We support ROOT in Gentoo and have a long list of improvements awaiting implementation:
- move ROOT from configure to cmake;
- add new USE flags and dependencies;
- move documentation generation from THtml to doxygen;
- improve PyROOT:
- dependency cleanup (split ROOT.py and put Pythonize.cxx in its own .so);
- make the core of PyROOT standalone, so that it as "PyCling" when it's packaged with Cling and libCore/libCling can be used standalone;
- get clingcwrapper.cxx from PyPy into ROOT as a standalone .so, so that PyROOT can run on PyPy w/o further ado;
- make Cling installable as a separate package.
