Summary: Wrong error message about changed method signature

Initial Comment:
When I prepared the 1.2 release of Jakarta Commons
Configuration I created a clirr report to compare the
current release jar with the last 1.1 release. This
report contains two error messages related to the
load(String) method of XMLConfiguration, which I
believe to be wrong.

Basically the following changes were made:
XMLConfiguration contained a couple of overloaded
load() methods. In the 1.2 release a new base class for
XMLConfiguration was introduced, which now implements
most of these load() methods, among them the mentioned
load(String) method; the corresponding methods of
XMLConfiguration were removed. Further a private helper
method - also called load() - with a new signature was
added to XMLConfiguration.

It seems that clirr somehow gets confused by this
constellation.

I attach the jar with the new version of
Commons-Configuration. The 1.1 release that served as
reference can be found at ibiblio at
http://www.ibiblio.org/maven/commons-configuration/jars/commons-configuration-1.1.jar

The clirr report is available at
http://people.apache.org/~oheger/commons-configuration-1.2RC1-docs/clirr.xml

My version of clirr is 0.6. The report was created
under Win XP SP 2.
