/** 
A localised list of the names of the plug-ins available on the phone for a 
particular plug-in framework.

This class should be used by applications that display lists of plug-ins. 
It is provided so that the plug-in names displayed to users:

are not filenames

are localisable, i.e. for a multi-language ROM device, plug-in names must 
be translated into the correct language and sorted according to the locale's 
collation rules

can be filtered depending on the current locale, i.e. the user will not necessarily 
see the names of all plug-ins for a given framework for every language of 
a multi-language ROM.

Note that the class MDesC16Array is shown in the derivation tree. The class 
definition for CBaNamedPlugins, however, uses the typedef MDesCArray. In 6.1 
builds, the symbol MDesCArray always resolves to MDesC16Array.

The parameters for a localised list of plug-in names.

An object of this class is passed to CBaNamedPlugins::NewL() and NewLC(). 
The parameters are as follows - minimally, the first two must be provided:

An array of TResourceFile objects. Each object contains information about 
a single plug-in, or multiple plug-ins, including the filename of the corresponding 
resource file. Versions of these resource files with the correct filename 
extensions for the required languages provide the name of one or more plug-in, 
translated appropriately.

A connected session with the file server. This is required to search the file 
sytem for the localised resource files, then to open them for reading.

An optional object that generates a fallback name for plug-ins, if no resource 
file could be found. If no such function is provided, then the fallback name 
used for plug-ins is simply the filename of the resource file without the 
drive, directory path or extension.

An optional function that compares two plug-in names for sorting. The list 
is sorted after it has been fully populated, using this algorithm. If not 
specified, sorting is done by using the system-wide (locale-dependent) collation 
rules.

An optional descriptor which, if provided, adds an additional item whose meaning 
is "none" (i.e. "no plug-in") to the MDesCArray, and the array position (either 
the start or the end of the array) at which to insert it.
