\class RooFactoryWSTool
\ingroup Roofitcore

RooFactoryWSTool is a clase like TTree::MakeClass() that generates
skeleton code for RooAbsPdf and RooAbsReal functions given
a list of input parameter names. The factory can also compile
the generated code on the fly, and on request also immediate
instantiate objects.
