An encapsulation of interface construction.

Each interface maker corresponds to a renderer and thus a publication on a service. It knows enough about the characteristics of a renderer to create interface stan by just calling.

This class is abstract. To build concrete interface makers, at least fill out the class variables. You will probably want to override the _makeInterface method for some renderers corresponding so specially defined interfaces; the default implementation corresponds to the VOResource definition.
