    /** A collection of Bone objects used to animate a skinned mesh.
    @remarks
        Skeletal animation works by having a collection of 'bones' which are 
        actually just joints with a position and orientation, arranged in a tree structure.
        For example, the wrist joint is a child of the elbow joint, which in turn is a
        child of the shoulder joint. Rotating the shoulder automatically moves the elbow
        and wrist as well due to this hierarchy.
    @par
        So how does this animate a mesh? Well every vertex in a mesh is assigned to one or more
        bones which affects it's position when the bone is moved. If a vertex is assigned to 
        more than one bone, then weights must be assigned to determine how much each bone affects
        the vertex (actually a weight of 1.0 is used for single bone assignments). 
        Weighted vertex assignments are especially useful around the joints themselves
        to avoid 'pinching' of the mesh in this region. 
    @par
        Therefore by moving the skeleton using preset animations, we can animate the mesh. The
        advantage of using skeletal animation is that you store less animation data, especially
        as vertex counts increase. In addition, you are able to blend multiple animations together
        (e.g. walking and looking around, running and shooting) and provide smooth transitions
        between animations without incurring as much of an overhead as would be involved if you
        did this on the core vertex data.
    @par
        Skeleton definitions are loaded from datafiles, namely the .skeleton file format. They
        are loaded on demand, especially when referenced by a Mesh.

                        If you have skeletons of identical structure (that means identically
                        named bones with identical handles, and with the same hierarchy), but
                        slightly different proportions or binding poses, you can re-use animations
                        from one in the other. Because animations are actually stored as
                        changes to bones from their bind positions, it's possible to use the
                        same animation data for different skeletons, provided the skeletal
                        structure matches and the 'deltas' stored in the keyframes apply
                        equally well to the other skeletons bind position (so they must be
                        roughly similar, but don't have to be identical). You can use the 
                        'scale' option to adjust the translation and scale keyframes where
                        there are large differences in size between the skeletons.
                @note
                        This method takes a skeleton name, rather than a more specific 
                        animation name, for two reasons; firstly it allows some validation 
                        of compatibility of skeletal structure, and secondly skeletons are
                        the unit of loading. Linking a skeleton to another in this way means
                        that the linkee will be prevented from being destroyed until the 
                        linker is destroyed.

                        You cannot set up cyclic relationships, e.g. SkeletonA uses SkeletonB's
                        animations, and SkeletonB uses SkeletonA's animations. This is because
                        it would set up a circular dependency which would prevent proper 
                        unloading - make one of the skeletons the 'master' in this case.
                @param skelName Name of the skeleton to link animations from. This 
                        skeleton will be loaded immediately if this skeleton is already 
                        loaded, otherwise it will be loaded when this skeleton is.
                @param scale A scale factor to apply to translation and scaling elements
                        of the keyframes in the other skeleton when applying the animations
                        to this one. Compensates for skeleton size differences.
