And I forgot to say, that AllJets::Algorithm is a public enumeration of
class AllJets. The compiler only complains when the argument is expected
to be of type "AllJets::Algorithm", because in the " ... ? ... : ... "
construct the 2nd possibility "G__Mint(libp->para[1])" appearently has the
wrong type, i.e. int, and in general the conversion int->enumeration is
not allowed.
