/**
 * \mainpage Resource Policy Library
 *
 * \section intro_section Introduction
 *
 * This library is used to request resources from the Polict Resource Manager.
 * To use this library two classes are provided: \ref ResourcePolicy::Resource and
 * \ref ResourcePolicy::ResourceSet.
 *
 * \section library_use_section Library Usage
 *
 * To use the Resource Policy Library, you first need to create a number of
 * \ref Resource objects like this (given as an example of what a media player
 * might want/need):
 * \code
 * ResourcePolicy::AudioResource *audioResource = new ResourcePolicy::AudioResource();
 * ResourcePolicy::VideoResource *audioResource = new ResourcePolicy::VideoResource();
 * videoResource->setOptional();
 * \endcode
 * Then you need to create a \ref ResourcePolicy::ResourceSet like this:
 * \code
 * ResourcePolicy::ResourceSet *resources = new ResourcePolicy::ResourceSet("player");
 * resources->addResource(audioResource);
 * resources->addResource(videoResource);
 * \endcode
 * The resource set now has control over the Resource object pointers. You can
 * drop them, but should NOT delete them. Instead call the ResourcePolicy::ResourceSet::deleteResource() 
 * method. Then when you want to acquire the \ref ResourcePolicy::ResourceSet
 * you simply use the \ref ResourcePolicy::ResourceSetacquire() method, like this:
 * \code
 * QObject::connect(resources, SIGNAL(resourcesAcquired()),
 *                  this, SLOT(acquireOkHandler(QList<ResourcePolicy::Resource>)));
 * QObject::connect(resources, SIGNAL(resourcesDenied()), this, SLOT(acquireDeniedHandler()));
 * resources->acquire();
 * \endcode
 * You should also connect to the ResourcePolicy::ResourceSet::lostResources() signal like this:
 * \code
 * QObject::connect(resources, SIGNAL(lostResources()),
 *                  this, SLOT(lostResources()));
 * \endcode
 * This signal tells you when you should stop using the resources you have asked for.
 * So it is important that you connect to it.
