You are a software developer's nightmare!  While it might work in the
short run, there is a reason why those libraries are versioned.  I
strongly denounce that practice!  I have wasted many days on bugs
introduced that way.  And it's always the physicists who do this.

Sorry I missed the meeting on Tuesday, but in the last slide that you
sent around you seemed to indicate that magnetic field support has to
wait until January.  Did I misunderstand that from the slide?  For
Moller at least this will be very important to have in the short term,
unless we keep on using the other Geant4 code for the toroid design.
What is the status of magnetic field support right now?

Cheers,
Wouter
