4437	Comment character in Configuration file parser incompatible with property_tree and Windows INI Files	usa@…	Vladimir Prus	"Hello! [[BR]]
As documented the comment character used when parsing configuration files with parse_config_file is '#'.[[BR]]
This is incompatible with Boost.PropertyTree and with Windows ini Files. Both use ';' as the comment character.[[BR]]
See boost/property_tree/ini_parser.hpp and
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms724348%28VS.85%29.aspx
.[[BR]]
It would be nice to add an new option to parse_config_file which adds the commentcharacter to use. It can default to '#' which prevents existing code from breaking but allows to use windows inifiles by specifying ';'.[[BR]]
