{{Quickfixn}} How to implement a custom message factory

[Grant Birchmeier]

If it works for you, go for it.  I would say there is no "suggested" way to
do what you're doing.  I doubt this class was designed with extension in
mind.  (IMessageFactory has multiple internal implementing classes, but I
suspect the original writers probably didn't think developers would extend
it externally.)

The method was obsoleted probably just to reduce the public interface,
since the engine doesn't use it anymore.

To help inform future decision making-- What's the reason you needed to
make a custom IMessageFactory?
