     * Converts a {@link Properties} object to a <code>{@link Map}&lt;String,
     * String&gt;</code>.
     *
     * <p>This is necessary because {@link Properties} is a dinosaur class. It
     * ought to extend <code>Map&lt;String,String&gt;</code>, but instead
     * extends <code>{@link Hashtable}&lt;Object,Object&gt;</code>.
     *
     * <p>Typical usage, to iterate over a {@link Properties}:
     *
     * <blockquote>
     * <code>
     * Properties properties;<br/>
     * for (Map.Entry&lt;String, String&gt; entry =
     * Util.toMap(properties).entrySet()) {<br/>
     *   println("key=" + entry.getKey() + ", value=" + entry.getValue());<br/>
     * }
     * </code>
