> I can find no information about the format of the string that 
> Configuration.getInt(String) accepts. I have determined by experimentation 
> and examining the source that it accepts decimal integers, and hex integers 
> if preceeded by "0x". This should be explained.
> Also, it is customary for functions which accept decimal and hex to also 
> accept octal. A string with leading "0" should be parsed as octal.
> This should apply to getByte(), getShort(), and getLong() as well.
