Configuration file patch for quoted filenames

[Robert Sandilands]

If there is a better place to post this, please tell me and I will. But seeing the state of the project, no active maintainer, this seems to be the best I can do.

I need the SimpleConfigurator to be able to handle file names that were quoted so I added the code and here is a patch. It was made on Mac OS X 10.2 using gcc  3.1. It may break everywhere else. It adds dependencies on <sys/param.h> and MAXPATHLEN.
