//	plDiffBuffer - A utility class for writing and applying a difference
//				   buffer--i.e. a buffer containing a series of modifications
//				   (specifically, adds and copys) that will modify an old
//				   data buffer to match a new one. It's a useful utility
//				   class when doing binary file patching, for example, as you
//				   can write out the changes to this class, get back a data
//				   buffer suitable for writing, then use this class again
//				   later to reconstruct the new buffer.
//
//					This class is meant to construct diff buffers using two
//					ops: add and copy. Basically, the syntax is defined so
//					that to reconstruct the new buffer, you run through the 
//					list of ops sequentially, each one defining the next
//					chunk of data in the new buffer. Add ops will add new data
//					to the buffer that didn't exist in the old buffer, and 
//					copy ops will copy data that existed in the old buffer
//					(from an arbitrary offset, to facilitate encoding data
//					shuffling). Delete ops are implicit, as they simply aren't
//					defined in the stream of ops.
