   Configuration Class
   
   This class provides a configuration file and command line parser
   for a tree-oriented configuration environment. All runtime configuration
   is stored in here.
   
   Each configuration name is given as a fully scoped string such as
     Foo::Bar
   And has associated with it a text string. The Configuration class only
   provides storage and lookup for this tree, other classes provide
   configuration file formats (and parsers/emitters if needed).

   Most things can get by quite happily with,
     cout << _config->Find("Foo::Bar") << endl;

   A special extension, support for ordered lists is provided by using the
   special syntax, "block::list::" the trailing :: designates the 
   item as a list. To access the list you must use the tree function on
   "block::list".
