* @brief A description of the expected file structure of a given package type
*
* PackageStructure defines what is in a package. This information is used
* to create packages and provides a way to programatically refer to contents.
*
* An example usage of this class might be:
*
@code
PackageStructure structure;
structure.addDirectoryDefinition("images", "pics/", i18n("Images"));
QStringList mimetypes;
mimetypes << "image/svg" << "image/png" << "image/jpeg";
structure.setMimetypes("images", mimetypes);
structure.addDirectoryDefinition("scripts", "code/", i18n("Executable Scripts"));
mimetypes.clear();
mimetypes << "text/\*";
structure.setMimetypes("scripts", mimetypes);
structure.addFileDefinition("mainscript", "code/main.js", i18n("Main Script File"));
structure.setRequired("mainscript", true);
@endcode
* One may also choose to create a subclass of PackageStructure and include the setup
* in the constructor.
*
* Either way, PackageStructure creates a sort of "contract" between the packager and
* the application which is also self-documenting.
