Message from Bob Michaels officially handing over ROOT responsibilities to EPSCI (Click "Expand" to the right for details -->):

   BTW, I'm officially passing this job (building and maintaining ROOT) to you, now, David.
   If you need some help, let me know.  Of course, I can answer questions and help resolve
   problems with the old builds.

   yours
   Bob
