[Gate-users] adding not-standard physic process to GATE

[David Sarrut]

Hello,

I agree:
- for a new type of source: add in Gate as described by Jared.
- for a new process, it is better to add it via Geant way. Be careful that
GatePhysicProcess is outdated, since the new G4 "physic list" mechanism.
