/** \defgroup zone Memory Management
	\ingroup utils

	H_??? The hunk manages the entire memory block given to quake.  It must be
	contiguous.  Memory can be allocated from either the low or high end in a
	stack fashion.  The only way memory is released is by resetting one of the
	pointers.

	Hunk allocations should be given a name, so the Hunk_Print () function
	can display usage.

	Hunk allocations are guaranteed to be 16 byte aligned.

	The video buffers are allocated high to avoid leaving a hole underneath
	server allocations when changing to a higher video mode.


	Z_??? Zone memory functions used for small, dynamic allocations like text
	strings from command input.  There is only about 48K for it, allocated at
	the very bottom of the hunk.

	Cache_??? Cache memory is for objects that can be dynamically loaded and
	can usefully stay persistant between levels.  The size of the cache
	fluctuates from level to level.

	To allocate a cachable object


	Temp_??? Temp memory is used for file loading and surface caching.  The
	size of the cache memory is adjusted so that there is a minimum of 512k
	remaining for temp memory.
