WorldForge::varconf is configuration handling library required by many WorldForge components.

It provides:

- An framework for storing and retrieving configuration data.
- Loading and saving of config files.
- Handling of complex command line arguments.
- Signals to notify the application of configuration changes.

Server, client and tool developers can use varconf to handle the configuration of their application. Initially written for stage, varconf is now used by many WorldForge components.

While it has good support for handling flat configuration data, it is not suited for more complex structured data. I recommend that developers use Atlas to store complex data.

Requirements:
libsigc++

What's New in This Release:
Support has been added for storing the scope in which a setting was set, allowing the application to differentiate between global settings, user settings, instance settings, and others.
