class ClassLoader
	/// The ClassLoader loads C++ classes from shared libraries
	/// at runtime. It must be instantiated with a root class
	/// of the loadable classes.
	/// For a class to be loadable from a library, the library
	/// must provide a Manifest of all the classes it contains.
	/// The Manifest for a shared library can be easily built
	/// with the help of the macros in the header file
	/// "Foundation/ClassLibrary.h".
	///
	/// Starting with POCO release 1.3, a class library can
	/// export multiple manifests. In addition to the default
	/// (unnamed) manifest, multiple named manifests can
	/// be exported, each having a different base class.
	///
	/// There is one important restriction: one instance of
	/// ClassLoader can only load one manifest from a class
	/// library.
