/** Components can implement <code>XUnloadingPreference</code> in order to indicate
	how they should be treated when their hosting library is to be unloaded.

   When someone calls <code>rtl_unloadUnusedModules</code> then the unloading
	listeners are notified by calling previously registered callback
	functions. A listener is an entity that employs, registers, and
	unregisters the callback functions on its behalf. Upon notification
	(the callback function is being called) 
	a listener may release references to UNO components. Thus, the
	loaded libraries can be unloaded, if no one else keeps any 
	objects from the library alive. <br>
	Before a listener releases references, it should ask for this interface.
	If the interface is not implemented, then the listener may release the
	object; otherwise, it calls <code>releaseOnNotification</code>. If the function
	returns false then the listener should keep the reference, otherwise 
	it may release it.
