Subject: [PATCH] add superbuild to compile Geant4 from submodule source
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

superbuild/CMakeLists.txt uses ExternalProject_Add to give three targets:

  cmake -B build -S superbuild/
  cmake --build build --target geant4      # build Geant4 → build/geant4-install
  cmake --build build --target run_pbwo4   # build minicalosim against it
  cmake --build build                      # both

The existing root CMakeLists.txt (find_package Geant4) is unchanged
for the system-Geant4 workflow.
