    this class allows parsing windowSpecs as created by ST/X's

    UIPainter and should be able to handle most of ST-80's specs.

    (and thereby allow to run applications built with this tool).

    However, it is not guaranteed that all of ST-80's winSpecs are understood.

    It also provides some rudimentary support for building interfaces

    programatically, by using #newComposite .. #add: .. #endComposite.

    This has been added for ST80-compatibility - we do not recommend using

    that for new ST/X programs.

    Those were added to allow execution of some PD applications.

    The programatic building protocol is not complete and certainly not bug free.

    Notice: 

        some of this class was implemented using protocol information

        from alpha testers, literature and by reading public domain code

        - it may not be complete or compatible to

        the corresponding ST-80 class. 

        If you encounter any incompatibilities, please forward a note 

        describing the incompatibility verbal (i.e. no code) to the ST/X team.

                                        temporary - holds the current composite

                                        when using newComposite/ endComposite,

                                        temporary - holds the current composites

                                        flag which is set when an interface is built

                                        by the UIPainter (as opposed to being built

                                        for the application).

                                        Changes the way aspects are aquired,

                                        (actually, no models are created/set)

                                        to prevent false building when no

                                        real applicationModel is present.

                                        (as is the case when the painter builds

                                        components).
