Find Resources

Finding a resource is a three step process. First one creates a ResourceBroker; second one creates a ResourceDescription describing the resource one wishes to find. Finally, one calls a single function on the ResourceBroker passing it the ResourceDescription describing the resource one wishes to find. The ResourceBroker then does all the ``heavy lifting,'' querying the ``Grid'' for all the various resource which fit the bill and returning a list of such resource to the caller. Simple! The caller never has to worry their pretty little head over the details of this process. It just works.
