ConfigurationUtils.copy results in escaped "," characters no longer being 
escaped

                 Key: CONFIGURATION-272
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CONFIGURATION-272
             Project: Commons Configuration
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 1.4
         Environment: commons 1.4
            Reporter: John Meagher


When using ConfigurationUtils.copy to go between configuration formats any 
escaped out "," characters are put into the output configuration without the 
escape character.  This results in a different value being returned from 
getString calls as it now things the property is a list.  If 4 escape 
characters are used instead of the expected 1 then the copy will end up with 
the correct value, but then the original will end up with the escape character 
as part of the property value.  

Example:
SomeLongProperty=This is a test\, it is only a test
# Ends up right in the copy, but not right in the original
SomeOtherProperty=This is also a test\\\\, it is also only a test

After copy:
# Missing "\" before ","
SomeLongProperty=This is a test, it is only a test
SomeOtherProperty=This is also a test\, it is also only a test
