// CLASS:    MUserEventMessage
//
// *****************************************************************************
//
// CLASS DESCRIPTION (MUserEventMessage)
//
// This class is used to register user-defined event types, register
// callbacks with the user-defined event types, and to post user-defined
// messages.
//
// The registerUserEvent and deregisterUserEvent methods allow user event 
// types to be created and destroyed.  User events are identified by a unique
// string identifier.
//
// The addCallback method registers a function that will be executed
// whenever the specified message occurs. An id is returned and is used
// to remove the callback.
//
// The postUserEvent notifies all registered callbacks of the occurence of a
// user-defined event.
//
// To remove a callback use MMessage::removeCallback.
// All callbacks that are registered by a plug-in must be removed by that
// plug-in when it is unloaded. Failure to do so will result in a fatal error.
