Class Overview
The LayoutSourceDefn interface stores the definition of a LayoutSource
by recording a unique name and a fully qualified class name. This interface also
provides a method to get an instance of the specified source. Note that only a
single instance of the source is given out--it must be thread safe and not store
any instance data members.
