	FILE:		RKEditorRegistry.h
	
	PURPOSE:
		This is a registry where all our resource-editor plugins are looked
		up and entered in a list, so you can ask for the editor for a specific
		resource type and it is returned immediately. This registry reads the
		types a plugin handles from their info.plist. This is better than
		encoding the type in the plugin file name, as file names are not
		guaranteed to be on a case-sensitive file system on Mac, and this also
		allows an editor to register for several resource types.
