I claim: 1. A mounting clip, comprising: a clip body which has a substantially square aperture formed therein; and an engaging component having a substantially rectangular shaped portion received in the substantially square aperture and which moveably mounts the clip body to a first structural member and which facilitates the movement of the clip body when mounted in a first position along a first path of travel and when mounted in a second position along a second path of travel, and wherein the first and second paths of travel are substantially normal one relative to another without changing orientation of the clip body. 2. A mounting clip as claimed in claim 1, and wherein the clip body has a first and second end, and wherein the substantially square aperture is defined by the first end of the clip body, and the second end of the clip body is fastened to a second structural member, and wherein the first and second structural members can move, one relative to the other. 3. A mounting clip as claimed in claim 2, and wherein the substantially square aperture formed in the clip body has sides which each have a length dimension, and wherein the engaging component has a main body which is substantially rectangular shaped and which has a major and a minor dimension, and wherein the major dimension of the main body is less than the length dimension of one of the sides of the substantially square aperture. 4. A mounting clip as claimed in claim 3, and wherein the minor dimension of the rectangularly shaped engaging component is less than about 80% of the length dimension of one of the sides of the substantially square aperture. 5. A mounting clip as claimed in claim 4, and wherein the clip body has a thickness dimension, and where the engaging component has a thickness dimension which is greater than the thickness dimension of the clip body. 6. A mounting clip as claimed in claim 5, and further comprising: a securing component mounted on the engaging component and wherein the clip body is moveably captured between the securing component and the first structural member. 7. A mounting clip as claimed in claim 6, and wherein the securing component has a length and width dimension, and wherein the length dimension of the securing component is greater than the major dimension of the engaging component. 8. A mounting clip as claimed in claim 7, and wherein the length and width dimensions of the securing component are different. 9. A mounting clip as claimed in claim 7, and wherein the length and width dimensions of the securing component are the same. 10. A mounting clip as claimed in claim 9, and wherein the engaging component and the securing component each have an aperture formed therein, and wherein the respective apertures are substantially coaxially aligned, and are operable to receive a fastener therethrough, and wherein the fastener engages the first structural member to mount the clip body thereto. 11. A mounting clip for joining at least two structural members together, comprising: a clip body having a first and a second leg, and wherein one of the first or second legs has an aperture formed therein; an engaging component having a substantially rectangular shaped portion matingly received in the aperture and affixed to a first structural member, and wherein the engaging component when disposed in a first position renders the clip body moveable along a first path of travel relative to the first structural member, and wherein the engaging component when mounted in a second position renders the clip body moveable along a second path of travel relative to the first structural member and which is substantially normal relative to the first path of travel without changing orientation of the clip body; and wherein the second leg is affixed to a second structural member; a securing component mounted on the engaging component and moveably capturing the leg which has the aperture formed therein between the securing component and the first structural member; and a fastener received through the engaging and securing components and which secures the mounting clip to the first structural member. 12. A mounting clip as claimed in claim 11, and wherein the first and second legs of the clip body are disposed in a substantially normal relationship one relative to the other. 13. A mounting clip as claimed in claim 11, and wherein the clip body has a thickness dimension, and wherein the engaging component has a thickness dimension greater the thickness dimension of the clip body. 14. A mounting clip as claimed in claim 11, and wherein the securing component has a length and a width dimension, and wherein the length dimension of the securing component is greater than a major length dimension of the engaging component. 15. A mounting clip as claimed in claim 11, and wherein the aperture has opposite sides, and wherein the engaging component slideably engages the opposite sides of the aperture to constrain the movement of the clip body along the respective first and second paths of travel. 16. A mounting clip, comprising: a clip body which has a square aperture formed therein, the square aperture having four sides of equal length; and an engaging component having a substantially rectangular shaped portion received in the square aperture and which moveably mounts the clip body to a first structural member and which facilitates the movement of the clip body when mounted in a first position along a first path of travel and when mounted in a second position along a second path of travel, and wherein the first and second paths of travel are substantially normal one relative to another.
