/**
*! \mainpage GHOST Main Page
*
* \section intro Introduction
*
* GHOST is yet another acronym. It stands for "Generic Handy Operating System
* Toolkit". It has been created to replace the OpenGL utility tool kit
* GLUT.
* GLUT was used in Blender until the
* point that Blender needed to be ported to Apple's Mac OSX. Blender needed a
* number of modifications in GLUT to work but the GLUT sources for OSX were
* unavailable at the time. The decision was made to build our own replacement
* for GLUT. In those days, NaN Technologies BV was the company that developed
* Blender.
*
* Enough history. What does GHOST have to offer?
* In short: everything that Blender needed from GLUT to run on all it's supported
* operating systems and some extra's.
* This includes :
*
* - Time(r) management.
* - Display/window management (windows are only created on the main display).
*
- Event management.
* - Cursor shape management (no custom cursors for now).
* - Access to the state of the mouse buttons and the keyboard.
* - Menus for windows with events generated when they are accessed (this is
* work in progress).
*
* Font management has been moved to a separate library.
*
* \section platforms Platforms
*
* \section Building GHOST
*
* \section interface Interface
* GHOST has two programming interfaces:
*
* - The C-API. For programs written in C.
* - The C++-API. For programs written in C++.
*
* GHOST itself is writtem in C++ and the C-API is a wrapper around the C++
* API.
*
* \subsection cplusplus_api The C++ API consists of the following files:
*
* - GHOST_IEvent.h
* - GHOST_IEventConsumer.h
* - GHOST_IMenu.h (in progress)
* - GHOST_IMenuBar.h (in progress)
* - GHOST_ISystem.h
* - GHOST_ITimerTask.h
* - GHOST_IWindow.h
* - GHOST_Rect.h
* - GHOST_Types.h
*
* For an example of using the C++-API, have a look at the GHOST_C-Test.cpp
* program in the ?/ghost/test/gears/ directory.
*
* \subsection c_api The C-API
* To use GHOST in programs written in C, include the file GHOST_C-API.h in
* your program. This file includes the GHOST_Types.h file for all GHOST types
* and defines functions that give you access to the same functionality present
* in the C++ API.
* For an example of using the C-API, have a look at the GHOST_C-Test.c program
* in the ?/ghost/test/gears/ directory.
*
* \section work Work in progress
*
* \subsection menus Menu functionality
* Menu bars with pull-down menu's for windows are in development in the
* current version of GHOST. The file GHOST_MenuDependKludge.h contains a
* setting to turn menu functionality on or off.

* Interface for classes that provide access to the operating system.
