+=Configatron
+
+Configatron makes configuring your applications and scripts incredibly easy. No longer is a there a need to use constants or global variables. Now you can use a simple and painless system to configure your life. And, because it's all Ruby, you can do any crazy thing you would like to!
+
+==Examples
+
+===Simple
+  configatron.email = 'me@example.com'
+  configatron.database_url = "postgres://localhost/mack_framework_rocks"
+  
+Now, anywhere in your code you can do the following:
+
+  configatron.email # => "me@example.com"
+  configatron.database_url # => "postgres://localhost/mack_framework_rocks"
+
+Viola! Simple as can be.
+
+Now you're saying, what if I want to have a 'default' set of options, but then override them later, based on other information? Simple again. Let's use our above example. We've configured our 'database_url' option to be "postgres://localhost/mack_framework_rocks". The problem with that is that is our production database url, not our development url. Fair enough, all you have to do is redeclare it:
+
+  configatron.database_url = "postgres://localhost/mack_framework_rocks_development"
+
+  
+becomes:
+
+  configatron.email # => "me@example.com"
+  configatron.database_url # => "postgres://localhost/mack_framework_rocks_development"
+  
+Notice how our other configuration parameters haven't changed? Cool, eh?
+
+===Hash/YAML
+You can configure configatron from a hash as well:
+
+  configatron.configure_from_hash({:email => {:pop => {:address => 'pop.example.com', :port => 110}}, :smtp => {:address => 'smtp.example.com'}})
+  
+  configatron.email.pop.address # => 'pop.example.com'
+  configatron.email.pop.port # => 110
+  # and so on...
+  
+Notice how they're all namespaced for your as well. The same holds true for YAML files:
+
+  configuration.configure_from_yaml('/path/to/file.yml')
+  
+When the 'reload' method is called on configatron then the YAML file will be re-read in case changes have been made.
+
+===Namespaces
+
+The question that should be on your lips is what I need to have namespaced configuration parameters. It's easy! Configatron allows you to create namespaces.
+  
+  configatron.website_url = "http://www.mackframework.com"
+  configatron.email.pop.address = "pop.example.com"
+  configatron.email.pop.port = 110
+  configatron.email.smtp.address = "smtp.example.com"
+  configatron.email.smtp.port = 25
+
+becomes:
+
+  configatron.email.pop.address # => "pop.example.com"
+  configatron.email.smtp.address # => "smtp.example.com"
+  configatron.website_url # => "http://www.mackframework.com"
+  
+Configatron allows you to nest namespaces to your hearts content! Just keep going, it's that easy.
+
+Of course you can update a single parameter n levels deep as well:
+
+  configatron.email.pop.address = "pop2.example.com"
+  
+  configatron.email.pop.address # => "pop2.example.com"
+  configatron.email.smtp.address # => "smtp.example.com"
+  
+===Misc.
+
+Even if parameters haven't been set, you can still call them, and you'll get nil back:
+
+  configatron.i.dont.exist.nil? # => true
+  configatron.i.dont.exist # => nil
+  
+You can set 'default' values for parameters. If there is already a setting, it won't be replaced. This is useful if you've already done your 'configuration' and you call a library, that needs to have parameters set. The library can set it's defaults, without worrying that it might have overridden your custom settings.
+
+  configatron.set_default(:name, 'Mark Bates')
+  configatron.name # => 'Mark Bates'
+  configatron.set_default(:name, 'Me')
+  configatron.name # => 'Mark Bates'
+  
+Sometimes in testing, or other situations, you want to temporarily change some settings. You can do this with the <tt>temp</tt> method:
+
+  configatron.one = 1
+  configatron.letters.a = 'A'
+  configatron.letters.b = 'B'
+  configatron.temp do
+    configatron.letters.b = 'bb'
+    configatron.letters.c = 'c'
+    configatron.one # => 1
+    configatron.letters.a # => 'A'
+    configatron.letters.b # => 'bb'
+    configatron.letters.c # => 'c'
+  end
+  configatron.one # => 1
+  configatron.letters.a # => 'A'
+  configatron.letters.b # => 'B'
+  configatron.letters.c # => nil
+  
+You can also pass in an optional Hash to the <tt>temp</tt>:
+
+  configatron.one = 1
+  configatron.letters.a = 'A'
+  configatron.letters.b = 'B'
+  configatron.temp(:letters => {:b => 'bb', :c => 'c'}) do
+    configatron.one == 1
+    configatron.letters.a # => 'A'
+    configatron.letters.b # => 'bb'
+    configatron.letters.c # => 'c'
+  end
+  configatron.one == 1
+  configatron.letters.a # => 'A'
+  configatron.letters.b # => 'B'
+  configatron.letters.c # => nil
+
+Enjoy!

+    #
+    # == Version
+    #  1.2006.05.23 (change of the first number means Big Change)
+    #
+    # == Description
+    #  Adds deep_clone method to an object which produces deep copy of it. It means
+    #  if you clone a Hash, every nested items and their nested items will be cloned.
+    #  Moreover deep_clone checks if the object is already cloned to prevent endless recursion.
+    #
+    # == Usage
+    #
+    #  (see examples directory under the ruby gems root directory)
+    #
+    #   require 'rubygems'
+    #   require 'deep_clone'
+    #
+    #   include DeepClone
+    #
+    #   obj = []
+    #   a = [ true, false, obj ]
+    #   b = a.deep_clone
+    #   obj.push( 'foo' )
+    #   p obj   # >> [ 'foo' ]
+    #   p b[2]  # >> []
