   * "global" objects, i.e., objects that nearly every NOX object will
   * need access to.  By putting them all in one container class, the
   * container class can be stored in each NOX object, and if a new
   * global object is needed, it can be added here without modifying
   * the rest of the code.  This is an alternative to true global or
   * static objects which are note safe in many contexts (threading).
   * In particular, this approach allows multiple %NOX "invocations"
   * to be in memory at the same time.
