 * Classes defined in this file provide the ability to import and export
 * ACE Configuration objects to/from disk files.  The base class
 * ACE_Config_ImpExp_Base provides the common functionality and the derived
 * classes implement the import/export functionality for the specific format.
 *
 * @todo
 *  - Add locking for thread safety.
 *  - Provide ability to read file in one format and write in another.
 *  - See todo's in each class

 *        files. Values (to right of equal sign) can be double quote
 *        delimited to embed tabs and spaces in the string.
 *        Caller must convert string to type.
 *
 *        This method allows for lines in the .ini or .conf file like this:
 *
 *        TimeToLive     =    100
 *        Delay          =    FALSE
 *        Flags          =    FF34
 *        Heading        =    "ACE - Adaptive Communication Environment"
 *
 * (note leading whitespace (tabs) in examples below)
 *
 *        SeekIndex  =  14
 *        TraceLevel = 6      # Can comment lines like this
 *              Justification = left_justified
 *
 *        The caller can then retrieve the string with the regular
 *        <get_string_value> function and convert the string to the
 *        desired data type.
 *
 * @todo
 *  - Strings with embedded newlines cause the import to fail
 *  - Strings with embedded quotes " cause the import to fail
 *  - Importing/exporting for values in the root section does not work
 *  - Add dynamic buffer when importing.  currently it will not allow
 *    importing of values greater than a fixed ammount (4096 bytes)
