/*!
  Provides an interface for plugins to register/unregister swatch
  generator classes (derived from MSwatchRenderBase) with Maya.
  Whenever a swatch needs to be generated for a node, it checks the
  classfication string of the node for the preferred swatch generator.
  If a match is found, it creates and manages the swatch generator
  object (that is it deletes the swatch generator object once the
  image has been generated). The doIteration function is called for
  generating the swatch.  The doIteration function is called
  repeatedly (during idle events) till it returns true. This allows
  for generation of the swatch in stages.
