	@par
		There are several states that a resource can be in (the concept, not the
		object instance in this case):
		<ol>
		<li><b>Undefined</b>. Nobody knows about this resource yet. It might be
		in the filesystem, but Ogre is oblivious to it at the moment - there 
		is no Resource instance. This might be because it's never been declared
		(either in a script, or using ResourceGroupManager::declareResource), or
		it may have previously been a valid Resource instance but has been 
		removed, either individually through ResourceManager::remove or as a group
		through ResourceGroupManager::clearResourceGroup.</li>
		<li><b>Declared</b>. Ogre has some forewarning of this resource, either
		through calling ResourceGroupManager::declareResource, or by declaring
		the resource in a script file which is on one of the resource locations
		which has been defined for a group. There is still no instance of Resource,
		but Ogre will know to create this resource when 
		ResourceGroupManager::initialiseResourceGroup is called (which is automatic
		if you declare the resource group before Root::initialise).</li>
		<li><b>Unloaded</b>. There is now a Resource instance for this resource, 
		although it is not loaded. This means that code which looks for this
		named resource will find it, but the Resource is not using a lot of memory
		because it is in an unloaded state. A Resource can get into this state
		by having just been created by ResourceGroupManager::initialiseResourceGroup 
		(either from a script, or from a call to declareResource), by 
		being created directly from code (ResourceManager::create), or it may 
		have previously been loaded and has been unloaded, either individually
		through Resource::unload, or as a group through ResourceGroupManager::unloadResourceGroup.</li>
		<li><b>Loaded</b>The Resource instance is fully loaded. This may have
		happened implicitly because something used it, or it may have been 
		loaded as part of a group.</li>
		</ol>

        @remarks
            A resource group allows you to define a set of resources that can 
            be loaded / unloaded as a unit. For example, it might be all the 
            resources used for the level of a game. There is always one predefined
            resource group called ResourceGroupManager::DEFAULT_RESOURCE_GROUP_NAME, 
			which is typically used to hold all resources which do not need to 
			be unloaded until shutdown. There is another predefined resource
            group called ResourceGroupManager::INTERNAL_RESOURCE_GROUP_NAME too,
            which should be used by OGRE internal only, the resources created
            in this group aren't supposed to modify, unload or remove by user.
            You can create additional ones so that you can control the life of
            your resources in whichever way you wish.
			There is one other predefined value, 
			ResourceGroupManager::AUTODETECT_RESOURCE_GROUP_NAME; using this 
			causes the group name to be derived at load time by searching for 
			the resource in the resource locations of each group in turn.
        @par
            Once you have defined a resource group, resources which will be loaded
			as part of it are defined in one of 3 ways:
			<ol>
			<li>Manually through declareResource(); this is useful for scripted
				declarations since it is entirely generalised, and does not 
				create Resource instances right away</li>
			<li>Through the use of scripts; some ResourceManager subtypes have
				script formats (e.g. .material, .overlay) which can be used
				to declare resources</li>
			<li>By calling ResourceManager::create to create a resource manually.
			This resource will go on the list for it's group and will be loaded
			and unloaded with that group</li>
			</ol>
			You must remember to call initialiseResourceGroup if you intend to use
			the first 2 types.
        @param name The name to give the resource group.
		@param inGlobalPool if true the resource will be loaded even a different
			group was requested in the load method as a parameter.
        */
        void createResourceGroup(const String& name, const bool inGlobalPool = true);


        /** Initialises a resource group.
		@remarks
			After creating a resource group, adding some resource locations, and
			perhaps pre-declaring some resources using declareResource(), but 
			before you need to use the resources in the group, you 
			should call this method to initialise the group. By calling this,
			you are triggering the following processes:
			<ol>
			<li>Scripts for all resource types which support scripting are
				parsed from the resource locations, and resources within them are
				created (but not loaded yet).</li>
			<li>Creates all the resources which have just pre-declared using
			declareResource (again, these are not loaded yet)</li>
			</ol>
			So what this essentially does is create a bunch of unloaded Resource entries
			in the respective ResourceManagers based on scripts, and resources
			you've pre-declared. That means that code looking for these resources
			will find them, but they won't be taking up much memory yet, until
			they are either used, or they are loaded in bulk using loadResourceGroup.
			Loading the resource group in bulk is entirely optional, but has the 
			advantage of coming with progress reporting as resources are loaded.
		@par
			Failure to call this method means that loadResourceGroup will do 
			nothing, and any resources you define in scripts will not be found.
			Similarly, once you have called this method you won't be able to
			pick up any new scripts or pre-declared resources, unless you
			call clearResourceGroup, set up declared resources, and call this
			method again.
		@note 
			When you call Root::initialise, all resource groups that have already been
			created are automatically initialised too. Therefore you do not need to 
			call this method for groups you define and set up before you call 
			Root::initialise. However, since one of the most useful features of 
			resource groups is to set them up after the main system initialisation
			has occurred (e.g. a group per game level), you must remember to call this
			method for the groups you create after this.

            Resource locations are places which are searched to load resource files.
            When you choose to load a file, or to search for valid files to load, 
            the resource locations are used.
        @param name The name of the resource location; probably a directory, zip file, URL etc.
        @param locType The codename for the resource type, which must correspond to the 
            Archive factory which is providing the implementation.
        @param resGroup The name of the resource group for which this location is
            to apply. ResourceGroupManager::DEFAULT_RESOURCE_GROUP_NAME is the 
			default group which always exists, and can
            be used for resources which are unlikely to be unloaded until application

            has not already been created with createResourceGroup then it is created
            automatically.

			a pattern match (such as *.material), and whether subdirectories will be
			indexed. This can slow down initial loading of the archive and searches.
			When opening a resource you still need to use the fully qualified name,
