     9  * The nsIServiceManager manager interface provides a means to obtain
    10  * global services in an application. The service manager depends on the 
    11  * repository to find and instantiate factories to obtain services.
    12  *
    13  * Users of the service manager must first obtain a pointer to the global
    14  * service manager by calling NS_GetServiceManager. After that, 
    15  * they can request specific services by calling GetService. When they are
    16  * finished they can NS_RELEASE() the service as usual.
    17  *
    18  * A user of a service may keep references to particular services indefinitely
    19  * and only must call Release when it shuts down.
