/**
 * This template provides a generic implementation of a KLibFactory ,
 * for use with shared library components. It implements the pure virtual
 * createObject method of KLibFactory and instantiates objects of the
 * specified class (template argument) when the class name argument of
 * createObject matches a class name in the given hierarchy.
 *
 * In case you are developing a KParts component, skip this file and
 * go directly to KParts::GenericFactory .
 *
 * Note that the class specified as template argument needs to provide
 * a certain constructor:
 * <ul>
 *     <li>If the class is derived from QObject then it needs to have
 *         a constructor like:
 *         <code>MyClass( QObject *parent,
 *                        const QStringList &args );</code>
 *     <li>If the class is derived from QWidget then it needs to have
 *         a constructor like:
 *         <code>MyWidget( QWidget *parent,
 *                         const QStringList &args);</code>
 *     <li>If the class is derived from KParts::Part then it needs to have
 *         a constructor like:
 *         <code>MyPart( QWidget *parentWidget,
 *                       QObject *parent,
 *                       const QStringList &args );</code>
 * </ul>
 * The args QStringList passed to the constructor is the args string list
 * that the caller passed to KLibFactory's create method.
 *
 * In addition upon instantiation this template provides a central
 * KComponentData object for your component, accessible through the
 * static componentData() method. The componentName and catalogName arguments
 * of the KGenericFactory constructor are passed to the KComponentData object.
 *
 * The creation of the KComponentData object can be customized by inheriting
 * from this template class and re-implementing the virtual createComponentData
 * method. For example it could look like this:
 * \code
 *     KComponentData *MyFactory::createComponentData()
 *     {
 *         return new KComponentData( myAboutData );
 *     }
 * \endcode
 *
 * Example of usage of the whole template:
 * \code
 *     class MyPlugin : public KParts::Plugin
 *     {
 *         Q_ OBJECT
 *     public:
 *         MyPlugin( QObject *parent, const QStringList &args );
 *         ...
 *     };
 *
 *     K_EXPORT_COMPONENT_FACTORY( libmyplugin, KGenericFactory<MyPlugin> )
