   Base persistence classes.

   These classes are used in GLScene, but are designed for generic purpose. 
   They implement a slightly different persistence mechanism than that of the VCL,
   allowing for object-level versioning (100% backward compatibility) and full
   polymorphic persistence.

   Internal Note: stripped down versions of XClasses & XLists.

  History :

                             (BugTracker ID = 1857974)
                             (thanks Yann PAPOUIN and Burkhard Carstens)
       04/02/08 - DaStr - Bugfixed TPersistentObjectList.Move() (BugTracker ID = 1857974)
       06/03/07 - DaStr - Added TGLOwnedPersistent
       04/01/04 - EG - Fixed ReadString & ReadWideString for empty strings (thx Kenguru)
       28/06/04 - LR - Removed ..\ from the GLScene.inc
       08/12/03 - EG - TBinaryReader/Writer no longer rely on VCL TReader/TWriter
       26/12/03 - EG - Added sorting support to TPersistentObjectList + misc. changes
       04/09/03 - EG - Improved some TPersistentObjectList methods
       12/02/03 - EG - Added IPersistentObject
       09/09/01 - EG - Optimized Pack (x2.5)
       14/08/01 - EG - Added AfterObjectCreatedByReader
       03/08/01 - EG - Big update with addition of Virtual filers
