//	CLASS: ViewLayoutFactory
// ---------------------------
//  A class, still under construction, that handles some
//	simple view layout problems. Primarily, it creates
//	standard Interface Kit views that are automatically
//	set to their preferred size. In addition, it provides:
//
//	* Positioning of views using any one of the corners of
//	the view's rectangle
//	* Alignment of a group of views along one edge or center,
//	to a specified distance between views.
//	* Adjustment of the width or height of a group of views
//	to the maximum value represented by the group.
//	* Resizing of a view to surround all of its children,
//	plus a specified margin on the right and bottom sides.
