 * A version of java.util.Properties that can read the properties from files
 * using an encoding other than ISO-8859-1. All non-latin characters are read 
 * correctly using the given encoding and no longer need to be quoted using native2ascii.
 * 
 * In addition, the properties may be stored in an arbitrary map, rather than
 * only in Properties. For example, using LinkedHashMap will preserve the order
 * of the properties as defined in the file.
