this works.

based on what I see in the gate CMakeLists.txt  file, it would seem that
one could check ROOT version just as it checks Geant version, and issue
at least a warning, e.g in the section:
# Option for Root use

${path-to-root}/bin/root-config --version


I'm not familiar enough yet with cmake to make the change but the stanza
preceding, verifying geant4 version, looks like a template.
