Feb 10, 2000 (Loren Petrich):
	
	This is the interface for getting various limits on dynamically-set quantities
	such as number of objects, number of NPC's (monsters, aliens), number of projectiles, etc.
	
	Their initial values are gotten from a resource.
	
May 4, 2000
	Replaced resource-fork initialization with XML initialization
