/**
 * This class provides a wrapper for loading data files
 * The loader will look for files in a several places,
 * similar to the way the ClassLoader uses the CLASSPATH
 * The primary search point will be relative to the JBOOST_HOME
 * By using FileLoader to load files, we centralize control
 * of where files are found.
 * If we enhance the Configuration implementation to use
 * Properties, some of the utility of this approach will go 
 * away, because file names can be specified using absolute
 * pathnames.
