and it tells you where to go next. It manages path recalculation internally, and is much more efficient that calling cPath every step. */

	A waypoint is a coordinate which the mob can safely move to from its current position in a straight line.

	@param a_Source The mob's position. a_Source's coordinates are expected to be within the chunk given in a_Chunk.
	@param a_Destination The position the mob would like to reach. If a_ExactPath is true, the PathFinder may modify this.
	@param a_OutputWaypoint An output parameter: The next waypoint to go to.
	@param a_DontCare If true, the mob doesn't care where to go, and the Pathfinder may modify a_Destination.

	ePathFinderStatus:NEARBY_FOUND - The PathFinder did not find a destination to the target but did find a nearby spot. The next waypoint was written a_OutputWaypoint. The mob should probably move to a_OutputWaypoint.
