 * \brief   Header file for particle keyframes
 *
 * Particle properties are keyframed- for example, you can vary the size of a
 * particle along its lifetime, to create some interesting effects. The
 * ParticleKeyframe class contains all of the keyframed properties for a given
 * snapshot in time (time ranges from 0.0 to 1.0), and these keyframes are stored
 * in the ParticleSystemDef class.

 *  \brief Keyframes, consist of a _time, plus various properties. These are
 *         used to specify how the properties of a particle vary over time.
 *         For example, in most systems, we'll want particles to fade out over
 *         their lifetime, so this could be done by creating 2 keyframes, where
 *         the alpha component of the 2nd keyframe's _color is zero.
