// Reads in a list of tag-value pairs in order.  Every description begins with "start <type> <name>" and ends with "end".
// A line that starts with ', or // is treated as a comment and ignored. There can be multiple descriptions in a file.
// 
// Here are some examples:
//
// start Label ResourceUnits
//      xpos = .5
//      ypos = .4
//      xwidth = .1
//      yheight = .2
//      bgimage = rg
// end
//
// A weapon description might look like:
//
// start Weapon MachineGun
//      rof = 6
//      startingammo = 50
//      damage = 10
//      firesound = sound/weapons/ak47.wav
//      reloadanim = wpn_reload
// end
//
// Something that describes an graphical effect could look like:
//
// ' Weapon smoke and shrapnel
// start ParticleSystem WeaponSmoke
//      ' num particles per second
//      particlerate = 6
//      numinitialparticles = 0
//      particlephysics = smoke
//      smoketexture = wpn_smoke
//      origin = local_player_weapon
// end
//
// ' Finally, some real shrapnel
// start ParticleSystem WeaponShrapnel
//      modelname = models/shrapnel
//      particlerate = 0
//      numinitialparticles = 5
//      particlephysics = fountain
//      initialsound = sound/fx/skrang.wav
// end
