	\class OffsetFile
	\brief Provides access to a file skipping a certain amount of bytes at
	the beginning.
	
	This class implements the BPositionIO interface to provide access to the
	data of a file past a certain offset. This is very handy e.g. for dealing
	with resources, as they always reside at the end of a file, but may start
	at arbitrary offsets.
