> we should finally bite the bullet and remove ROOT support from MIDAS ...

there were no objections to removing ROOT support from mlogger.

there was a request to keep rmana.

We shall move forward with this:
- remove all the HAVE_ROOT code from mlogger.cxx
- for now, keep HAVE_ROOT in CMakefile (HAVE_ROOT was removed from Makefile a long time ago)
- for now, keep rmana
- look into moving rmana to a separate package or a separate subdirectory and keep maximum compatibility 
with existing make files.
