 *
 *  The ACE configuration API provides a portable abstraction for
 *  program configuration similar to the Microsoft Windows registry.
 *  The API supports a tree based hierarchy of configuration sections.  Each
 *  section contains other sections or values.  Values may contain string,
 *  unsigned integer and binary data.
 *
 *  @note These classes are not thread safe, if multiple threads use these
 *  classes, you are responsible for serializing access.
 *
 *  For examples of using this class, see:
 *   -# The test code in ACE_wrappers/test
 *   -# wxConfigViewer, a Windows like Registry Editor for ACE_Configuration
 *   -# TAO's IFR, it makes extensive use of ACE_Configuration
 *
 *  @todo Templatize this class with an ACE_LOCK to provide thread safety
