Description:

Much like externalBytes - however, instances of MappedExternalBytes are created
by mapping virtual memory (i.e. mmap).
For now, this class provides only the minimum required protocol to support
the VideoForLinux API for video grabbing.
(actually, all that is found here is a redefined finalization method, as my instances
must be freed by unmapping the underlying memory, as opposed to instances of my superclass,
which must be freed w.r.t. malloc).

More will (might be required) be added in the future.
