The current cfgfile comment character is hardcoded to ';'. This commit
introduces a configuration attribute to allow an application to select a
different character. This is to ease adoption by applications that have an
existing configuration file which may use a different comment character.
For instance, an application may already have a configuration file that
uses the '#' as the comment character.
