the current version still has some dependencies left on ROOT: I thus used a
stripped-down version of it, mostly by removing sub-directories, but also
by trimming the modules (such as IO) that are still needed. I then added
the cppyy cxx sources from the PyPy repo. The Cling standalone release is
not yet used.

The numbering of 6.6.9 in PyPi refers to ROOT 6.06/09, so it's a release
behind current. I don't know whether current solves the compilation issues,
though, and I don't know whether standalone cling easily drops in there.

Best regards,
            Wim
