Adding support for new Unreal classes

New classes can be registered using either the UnrealPackage method RegisterClass or the attribute UnrealRegisterClass if the class resides in the UELib itself.
With the RegisterClass method you can register new classes dynamically at runtime but requires more effort to setup and maintain.
public class UMyNewClassName : UObject
{
}
var package = UnrealLoader.LoadPackage( "FilePathToUPK", System.IO.FileAccess.Read );
if( package != null )
{
package.RegisterClass( "UTexture", typeof(UMyNewClassName) );
package.InitializePackage();
}
Whenever an object of class type UTexture, a new instance of class UMyNewClassName will be created.
Registering classes is a lot easier with the UnrealRegisterClass attribute, but be aware that the library only scans for this attribute on classes that reside in the Eliot.UELib.dll.
