/// Macro to add histogram files
/// This macro is kept for didactical purposes only: use instead the executable $ROOTSYS/bin/hadd !
/// 
/// This macro will add histograms from a list of root files and write them
/// to a target root file. The target file is newly created and must not be
/// identical to one of the source files.
/// This code is based on the hadd.C example by Rene Brun and Dirk Geppert,
/// which had a problem with directories more than one level deep.
/// The macro from Sven has been enhanced by Anne-Sylvie Nicollerat <Anne-Sylvie.Nicollerat@cern.ch>
/// to automatically add Trees (via a chain of trees).
