/** \defgroup cfg_registry Configuration registry
 *
 *  This is a registry for configuration data, which stores the configuration
 *  of a whole application. Each module has it's own section, sections can
 *  have subsections. Inside the section, the configuration is stored as
 *  name-value pairs.
 *
 *  You can save a registry in an xml-file and load it again. Furthermore,
 *  sections can be attached to GUI-widgets. Special
 *  routines are available to copy all values from/to a section by using
 *  functions of type \ref bg_set_parameter_func_t and
 *  \ref bg_get_parameter_func_t.

 *  configuration data.
