LibGAlloc is a LibGGI extension meant to act as a central management
point for allocation of target resources used by other extensions.
It uses the "shared storage" technology for simultaneous access and
use of multiple extensions/applications.
It works similar to the shared memory concept, but it is not limited
to only virtual memory.
Recently I had first success with sharing of more than 20 BOB's
stored in virtual memory, but the unsharing process is currently too
buggy to work :(
Other resources/storages hasn't been tested yet, but _sharing_ them
should work.
So far to say according to GGI... :)
