 * Basic configuration classe. Stores the configuration data but does not
 * provide any load or save functions. If you want to load your Configuration
 * from a file use PropertiesConfiguration or XmlConfiguration.
 *
 * This class extends normal Java properties by adding the possibility
 * to use the same key many times concatenating the value strings
 * instead of overwriting them.
