Version 0.7.3
* Fixed: econf_readDirs crashes if one of the paths is NULL (#211)
* Handle groups correctly which do not have any key entry.
* Added links to man page. E.g. "man econf_readConfig" is working now.

Version 0.7.2
* Do not check errno while float conversion. This is a false alarm for

Version 0.7.1
* Improved error handling while parsing values with the wrong format.
  Added new return value ECONF_VALUE_CONVERSION_ERROR.
* Setting parsing options via econf_file struct.
  see econf_newKeyFile_with_options. These options will be used by
  econf_readConfig and econf_readConfigWithCallback.
  Following options are supported:
   JOIN_SAME_ENTRIES  (default 0)
     Parsed entries with the same name will not be replaces but
     will be joined to one entry.
   PYTHON_STYLE  (default 0)
     E.G. Identations will be handled like multiline entries.
   PARSING_DIRS (default /usr/etc/:/run:/etc)
     List of directories from which the configuration files have to be parsed.
     The list is a string, divides by ":". The last entry has the highest
     priority. E.g.: "PARSING_DIRS=/usr/etc/:/run:/etc"
   CONFIG_DIRS (default <empty>)
     List of directory structures (with order) which describes the directories
     in which the files have to be parsed.
     The list is a string, divides by ":". The last entry has the highest
     priority. E.g. with the given list: "CONFIG_DIRS=.conf.d:.d" files in
     following directories will be parsed:
            "<default_dirs>/<config_name>.conf.d/"
            "<default_dirs>/<config_name>.d/"
            "<default_dirs>/<config_name>/"
* CAUTION: From now on every econf_file element MUST be intialized if
           econf_readConfig and econf_readConfigWithCallback is used.
  Either with NULL or:
   econf_file *key_file = NULL;
   if (error = econf_newKeyFile_with_options(&key_file, "PYTHON_STYLE=1"))
   {
      fprintf (stderr, "ERROR: couldn't create new key file: %s\n",
               econf_errString(error));
      return 1;
   }
   error = econf_readConfig (&key_file,
                             "foo",
                             "/usr/lib",
                             "example",
                             "conf",
                             "=", "#");
