In the long run, this sort of thing will prove to be unacceptable.  There _must_
be some sort of method for determining the resources available in an application;
at the least, some sort of utility program that, when envoked on an X application,
prints out the available resources.  Of course, this will require that the
resourse names be marked in some special way, or held in some list available to
said utility program.
