//
// C++ Interface: TerrainMod
//
// Description: The purpose of this class is to handle the bulk of the work
//		involved with using Mercator::TerrainMods. It handles parsing
//		the Atlas data and storing all the information needed by 
//		TerrainGenerator to add and remove them from the Terrain.
//
//		TerrainGenerator listens for changes in the modifier and
//		updates or removes the modifiers from the terrain as needed.
