[SCREEN/MEMORY] global specification and implementation

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Screen/Memory component will intends to provide utility classes for easy
manipulate and optimize use of the memory.

The first step into this part is to write a complete specification for this
component.

Take this enhancement because this is a prerequisite of complete Index and 
Vertex 
buffer fillers

3 basis classes :
* BufferBase : it's the handler that contains the pointer to the real buffer, 
and 
the effective size of the buffer (used size in the buffer ==> effective size <= 
buffer size)
* BufferManager : His role is to create and reused BufferBase. It uses 2 kinds 
of 
stack :
  - the first that contains all instances of BufferBase
  - the second for unused BufferBases
  The number of stacks depends on the minimum size, maximum size and size step 
between buffers
* Buffer : this is the client class, that retrieves a BufferBase from 
BufferManager

Basic tests in progress,

Must add more usable classes up to Buffer class :
- TypedBuffer
- TextBuffer
- WideTextBuffer
- ...

Already in test, inplemented TypedBuffer and used it for VertexBufferFiller

Must add a garbage method to buffer manager in order to free unlocked buffers

Buffer, BufferManager, BufferBase and TypedBuffer implemented
Tests done
needs improvements

Can't compile on Windows due to unknown std::pow(int,int)

power function will be added with [SCREEN/MATH] creation of the component

Screen::Math::power function created and used in Screen/Memory
