/** @name Pegasus Components
This section defines the major components that make up the Pegasus environment, the architectureal components, the built components, and the supporting directory structure.

/** @name Component Descriptions
The major components of Pegasus are:

<B>Pegasus Server</B> - WBEM/CIM CIM_Server with interfaces for providers and Clients

<B>Pegasus Repository </B>- Today Pegasus provides a defined class repository interface and a simple
file based class repository. Future will include the object repository

<B>Pegasus Client SDK</B> - Tools for building Pegasus clients based on the Pegasus C++ interfaces
and using the WBEM HTTP/XML protocols or directly interfacing with Pegasus

<B>Pegasus Test Clients</B> - Simple test clients being developed as part of the Pegasus development
process

<B>Pegasus HTML Test Client</B> - To aid some testing we created a test client for Pegasus that uses
a WEB server (ex. Apache) with a set of CGI modules and HTML to allow the entry of Pegasus
operations from a WEB browser as forms and the recept of the response as WEB pages. This has
proven useful as a test tool and can be used for a wide variety of demonstrations.

<B>Pegasus Providers</B> - Pegasus providers are build as separate components that can be dynamically loaded by the Pegasus server. 

<B>Pegasus Service Extensions</B> -  Future (version 1.0)

<B>Pegasus MOF Compiler</B> - The Pegasus MOF compiler compiles MOF files and installs them into the Pegasus repository.


ATTN: Define the files that make up these components and their structure.
