		/** Create a hardware vertex buffer.
        @remarks
            This method creates a new vertex buffer; this will act as a source of geometry
            data for rendering objects. Note that because the meaning of the contents of
            the vertex buffer depends on the usage, this method does not specify a
            vertex format; the user of this buffer can actually insert whatever data 
            they wish, in any format. However, in order to use this with a RenderOperation,
            the data in this vertex buffer will have to be associated with a semantic element
            of the rendering pipeline, e.g. a position, or texture coordinates. This is done 
            using the VertexDeclaration class, which itself contains VertexElement structures
            referring to the source data.
        @remarks Note that because vertex buffers can be shared, they are reference
            counted so you do not need to worry about destroying themm this will be done
            automatically.
        @param vertexSize The size in bytes of each vertex in this buffer; you must calculate
            this based on the kind of data you expect to populate this buffer with.
        @param numVerts The number of vertices in this buffer.
        @param usage One or more members of the HardwareBuffer::Usage enumeration; you are
            strongly advised to use HBU_STATIC_WRITE_ONLY wherever possible, if you need to 
            update regularly, consider HBU_DYNAMIC_WRITE_ONLY and useShadowBuffer=true.
		@param streamOut Whether the vertex buffer will be used for steam out operations of the
			geometry shader.
