/** Helper functions to locate and load native files.

    The methods in this class are designed to find the requested resources in as
    many cases as possible.  They search various places, roughly from most
    specific to most general.  This works well if a component is known to bring
    with it a certain resource, and that resource has to be found.  However, it
    might not work very well in cases where you want to check whether a
    component brings with it a certain resource or not: a similarly named
    resource from another component might be found by the eager search
    algorithm.
