         * @class NekFactory
         * \brief Provides a generic Factory class.
         *
         * Implements a generic object factory. Class-types which use a
         * potentially arbitrary number of parameters may be used with
         * specialised forms of the NekFactory. An upper
         * limit on the number of parameters is imposed by the MAX_PARAM
         * preprocessor definition in the NekFactory.hpp file. The
         * specialisations are generated at compile type using Boost
         * preprocessor by through repeated inclusion of the NekFactory.hpp
         * file.
         *
         * To allow a class to be instantiated by the factory, the
         * following are required in each class definition (in the case of
         * a single parameter):
         * \code
         *   static [baseclass]* create([paramtype1] &P) {
         *      return new [derivedclass](P);
         *   }
         *   static std::string className;
         * \endcode
         * and outside the class definition in the implementation:
         * \code
         *   std::string [derivedclass]::className
         *      = Factory<std::string,[baseclass],[paramtype1]>::
         *          RegisterCreatorFunction("[derivedclass]",
         *                              [derivedclass]::create,"Description");
         * \endcode
         * The assignment of the static variable className is done through the
         * call to RegisterCreatorFunction, which registers the class with the
         * factory prior to the start of the main() routine.
         *
         * To create an instance of a derived class, for instance:
         * \code
         *   [baseclass]* var_name =
         *      Factory<std::string,[baseclass],[paramtype1]>
         *              ::CreateInstance("[derivedclass]",Param1);
         * \endcode
