 // The configuration module provides a platform for reading configuration files
 // (or string data) containing well-formed xml and mapping that data to program
 // variables.
+//
 // The idea is to provide the ability for an object or application to provide
 // a modular "configuration" object that models a hierarchical collection of
 // "settings" that can be represented easily in code and in xml.

-
-// 20070202.1601 _M Further research has suggested that using a Semaphore in
-// WIN32 environments in place of a CRITICAL_SECTION may provide the best
-// performance and stability on all platforms. Specifically, SMP platforms may
-// race and waste resources with CRITICAL_SECTIONs and in those cases it is

-// to limit the number of threads that may contend for a critical section. It
-// is also suggested that if the Semaphore has an initialization value of 1
-// the CRITICAL_SECTION is redundant. So this code has been modified to do
-// precisely that!
-//
-// This new version also includes a ProductionGateway object that simplifies
-// the producer/consumer model. The object keeps track of the number of calls
-// to produce() and consume() and ensures that threads will block on consume()
-// until a sufficient number of calls to produce() are made. That is, for every

 // throughout to provide consistency and reasonable expectations.
 
-// 20060404 _M Added Timer::start(msclock startt) for chaining.
-
-// 20060403 _M This "timing" module has been completed and tested on
-// win32 (compiled using CodeBlocks and minGW) and on RHES3 (g++).
-//
-// The bottom line is that this code is perfect for most applications that
-// don't need real-time interaction on the win32 platform. That is, for
-// any application that can accept 15ms or so of "wiggle" in their timing
-// functions. On linux I was able to observe very consistent results with
-// variations measured in 1-2ms.
-//
-// Aynone seeking real-time accuracy on the win32 platform will need to contend
-// with all of the landmines in place against that and will need to write more
-// ellaborate versions of Timer::getLocalRawClock() and Sleeper::doRawSleep()
-// aa appropriate for their application. The existing code should work fine for
-// almost all other applications.
-//
-// This code was written with that in mind to some extent. That is why all of
-// the timing functions are measured in milliseconds rather than microseconds
-// or something smaller. Milliseconds are convenient for polling delays,
-// communications timeouts, measuring database application performance, and
-// other similar tasks. For that purpose - this timing module is just fine :-)
