/***
The ModuleLoader class is an abstraction of the dynamic code loading
facilities provided by the host operating system. The class provides
functions to determine if the file at a given path is a loadable module,
to load that module, and to modify the filename in a way that is
appropiate to the host computer.
All implementations of this interface are expected to provide definitions
for the 3 static functions in the ModuleLoader class, and provide a
subclass of ModuleLoader::Loader that implements findSymbol.
***/

{
public:
/** ModuleLoader::Module is the abstract base class for all disk
based loadable modules after they are loaded into memory.
It provides a method to locate a pointer for a given symbol,
and automatically unloads the module from memory when the
object is destructed. Instances of this class are created
using the ModuleLoader::loadModule function.
**/
class Module
{
public:
/** findSymbol searchs through the module after it has been loaded into
memory, and returns a pointer to that symbol's location in memory.
If the symbol can't be found or doesn't exist the function returns
NULL.

attempts to load the module. If successful it returns the ModuleLoader::Module

It is the callers responsibility to delete the returned module object
when it is no longer needed.

host operating system. This function is typically called after a failed attempt
to load the module without the extention.
