Maybe a small extention ?
I would like to propose that the h2root utility converts all upper case
names into lower ones. The fortran ( and hbook ) were on principle
upper-case-only ( modern fortran compilers don't care about the case ) so
a lot of hbook software is really written in upper case. I didn't care, as
kuip and comis were case insensitive ( so I could always write variable
names lower case ). Now I get them upper case - just look at this ;;;-)

TLeaf *l_Z1Y = (TLeaf*)leaves->At(7); l_Z1Y->SetAddress(&Z1Y);
TLeaf *l_Z1DX = (TLeaf*)leaves->At(8); l_Z1DX->SetAddress(&Z1DX);
TLeaf *l_Z2S = (TLeaf*)leaves->At(9); l_Z2S->SetAddress(&Z2S);
TLeaf *l_Z2X = (TLeaf*)leaves->At(10); l_Z2X->SetAddress(&Z2X);

( For me upper case identifiers are macro names. )
