/*!
	\class ResourcesContainer
	\brief Represents a collection of resources.
	
	This class can be used to manage a collection of resources represented
	by ResourceItem's. Usually it does never contain two resources with the
	same type \em and ID, since AddResource() replaces an old item with the
	new one, unless explicitly told not to do so. This should only be done
	by ResourceFile, when type and ID of the items are not yet known.
	Asside from the basic vector features like Add/RemoveResource()/
	ResourceAt() and MakeEmpty() a bunch of IndexOf() methods are provided
	and AssimilateResources() which incorporates all resources of another
	container into this one (replacing old resources, if necessary), emptying
	the other one.

	The ResourceItem's in a container are deleted on destruction, unless
	removed before via RemoveResource(). MakeEmpty() deletes the items as
	well.
