00018  * Class MemoryManager: allocates/deallocates memory for objects of a
00019  * requested size.  Some instanced of this class may be specialized to
00020  * a specific object size, and the actual memory may be allocated in
00021  * big chunks, for efficiency.
00022  *
00023  * Typical use of this class is to create 
00024  * MemoryManager* mm = new MemoryManagerChunks(sizeof(YourClass)); 
00025  * where YourClass has operators new and delete redefined:
00026  * void* YourClass::operator new(size_t size, MemoryManager* mm)
00027  * { return mm->newData(size); }
00028  * void YourClass::delete(void*) { } // do not deallocate memory here
00029  * Then, create objects with obj = new(mm) YourClass(), and destroy them with
00030  * delete obj; mm->deleteData(obj);
