Description

I was pleasantly surprised to find out that you did support the expansion of environment variables within a configuration file using the form ${VARIABLE}. But it would be very handy if you could also use them when passing the file name of the configuration file to the configurator.

So for example if I have:

filename = "${FOOBAR_HOME}\log\configutation.xml";
DOMConfigurator( fileName );

It would expand the FOOBAR_HOME according to the environment.
