//
// = DESCRIPTION
//    The ACE configuration API provides a portable abstraction for
//    program configuration.  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.
//
// = TODO
//    - Add locking for thread safety.
//    - Need to investigate what happens if memory mapped file gets mapped to 
//      a location different than it was created with.
//    - Implement export and import of binary values
//    - Add dynamic buffer when importing.  currently it will not allow
//      importing of values greater than a fixed ammount (4096 bytes)
//    - Replace unsigned int with a type that is fixed accross platforms.
