/**
    Creates a dialog box to choose a file or directory to load or save.

    To use a FileChooser:
    - create one (as a local stack variable is the neatest way)
    - call one of its browseFor.. methods
    - if this returns true, the user has selected a file, so you can retrieve it
      with the getResult() method.

    e.g. @code
    void loadMooseFile()
    {
        FileChooser myChooser ("Please select the moose you want to load...",
                               File::getSpecialLocation (File::userHomeDirectory),
                               "*.moose");

        if (myChooser.browseForFileToOpen())
        {
            File mooseFile (myChooser.getResult());

            loadMoose (mooseFile);
        }
    }
    @endcode
