/** The Importer class forms an C++ interface to the functionality of the

*
* Create an object of this class and call ReadFile() to import a file. 
* If the import succeeds, the function returns a pointer to the imported data. 
* The data remains property of the object, it is intended to be accessed 
* read-only. The imported data will be destroyed along with the Importer 
* object. If the import failes, ReadFile() returns a NULL pointer. In this
* case you can retrieve a human-readable error description be calling 
* GetErrorString().
*
* If you need the Importer to do custom file handling to access the files,
* implement IOSystem and IOStream and supply an instance of your custom 
* IOSystem implementation by calling SetIOHandler() before calling ReadFile().
* If you do not assign a custion IO handler, a default handler using the 
* standard C++ IO logic will be used.
*
* @note One Importer instance is not thread-safe. If you use multiple
* threads for loading each thread should manage its own Importer instance.
