// LoadHandler.h
//
//	Abstract class that defines the interface of a handler to load files
//
//	A loader handler is used like this:
//		* preProcess is called before any file has been loaded in order to do
//		any specific pre processing.
//		* load is called once for each file. The handler has to update the internal
//		game data entity memory copying the file data.
//		* postProcess is called after all files have been loaded in order to do
//		any specific post processing.
