1) ISSUE970:  Support for digitization in ddsim
                       ==> On hold, but should be closed.

3) ISSUE1173:  memory issue for large geometries

                       ===> Was a bug in TGeo caused by large number of daughters
4)  ISSUE1199: Persist hepmc vertex status code into output
                     ===> Should we eliminate Geant4EventReaderHepMC
