/**
 * This class gives the ability for a user-friendly way of creating a vertex
 * declaration for DirectX 9. Since a vertex shader has a fixed input, the
 * vertex element array can be cached so that a new vertex declaration for
 * different vertex buffers can be quickly created.  Be sure to call
 * add_end_vertex_element ( ) when finished creating a vertex element array.
 * VERTEX_ELEMENT_TYPE is used for a simplified mapping of vertex buffer data
 * to vertex shader inputs.  This class is used with DXShaderContext9 and in
 * conjunction with DXVertexBufferContext9.
