@brief
A class for loading resource plugins.
Use this class if you need resources with special
settings, otherwise use KRES::Manager::createResource()
to get resources with the default settings.
Example:
\code
KRES::Factory *factory = KRES::Factory::self( "contact" );
// to allow a transparent configuration of resources, we have
// to use a kconfig object.
KConfig config;
KConfigGroup group( &config, "General" );
group.writePathEntry( "FileName", "/home/foobar/test.vcf" );// resource dependent
group.writeEntry( "FileFormat", "vcard" ); // resource dependent
KRES::Resource *res = factory->resource( "file", group );
// do something with resource
\endcode
