/********************************************************************\

  Configuration server for the Evidence Control System

  - The configuration file is opened without buffering to catch changes
    without closing/opening.
  - The name of a configuration file can be given as command line argument
  - If a configuration file change is detected through inotify, the service
    "Config/ModifyTime" is updated with the current UNIX time to inform applications.
        The initial value of the server is the last file modification time. 
  - The employed line buffer has conservatively at least the size of the
    configuration file. If needed, it will be enlarged.
