/**
   \brief Fl_Preferences provides methods to store user
   settings between application starts.

   It is similar to the
   Registry on WIN32 and Preferences on MacOS, and provides a
   simple configuration mechanism for UNIX.

   Fl_Preferences uses a hierarchy to store data. It
   bundles similar data into groups and manages entries into those
   groups as name/value pairs.

   Preferences are stored in text files that can be edited
   manually. The file format is easy to read and relatively
   forgiving. Preferences files are the same on all platforms. User
   comments in preference files are preserved. Filenames are unique
   for each application by using a vendor/application naming
   scheme. The user must provide default values for all entries to
   ensure proper operation should preferences be corrupted or not
   yet exist.

   Entries can be of any length. However, the size of each
   preferences file should be kept small for performance
   reasons. One application can have multiple preferences files.
   Extensive binary data however should be stored in separate
   files: see getUserdataPath().

   \note Starting with FLTK 1.3, preference databases are expected to
   be in UTF-8 encoding. Previous databases were stored in the
   current character set or code page which renders them incompatible
   for text entries using international characters.
