String Lookup Table

I created this code for a mod I was working on and I thought I'd share it with the community. --deathz0rz 11:31, 13 Nov 2005 (PST)

The contents of this file are designed for use with the Valve Source SDK, 
however, it's function can be adapted to work with other code, such as STL. 
Supplied are convenience macro's designed to convert from constant names to 
constant values. I think an example explains their usages best:
