45 // NAME : configuration
52 // DESCRIPTION : Handle configurational parameters for the application.
53 // Many applications need some permanently stored configurational
54 // data. The information is usually stored in two places: A system-
55 // wide configuration file and a configuration file per user.
56 // The content of the configuration file is in XML format.
57 // The configuration base class takes care of finding the configuration
58 // files, e.g. in /etc/app.conf or in /usr/local/etc/app.conf, along
59 // with the configuration file in the user's home directory.
60 // The config files are parsed with the gnome XML parser and a
61 // framework is provided to find configurational items.
