/**
* @brief CCMotionStreak manages a Ribbon based on it's motion in absolute space.
* You construct it with a fadeTime, minimum segment size, texture path, texture
* length and color. The fadeTime controls how long it takes each vertex in
* the streak to fade out, the minimum segment size it how many pixels the
* streak will move before adding a new ribbon segement, and the texture
* length is the how many pixels the texture is stretched across. The texture
* is vertically aligned along the streak segemnts. 
*
* Limitations:
*   CCMotionStreak, by default, will use the GL_SRC_ALPHA, GL_ONE_MINUS_SRC_ALPHA blending function.
*   This blending function might not be the correct one for certain textures.
*   But you can change it by using:
*     [obj setBlendFunc: (ccBlendfunc) {new_src_blend_func, new_dst_blend_func}];
*
* @since v0.8.1
