/**
 *  IniFile Class. 
 * 
 *  It is assumed that ini files are not likely to contain large amount of 
 *  data, in which case this may not be the most efficient implementation, as
 *  data are searched iteratively to get their value.
 *  For very large amount of data, "map" objects could be created (see
 *  <map> of STL library) to access directly to the DataList and SectionList
 *  objects. These map object would be initialized in the constructor 
 *  and accesses using the [] operator would replace the 'while' loops.
