According to the documentation for java.util.Properties it's possible to put an
escaped key/value separator in a key, this is not currently supported by the
PropertiesConfiguration class:

http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/util/Properties.html#load(java.io.InputStream)

"The key contains all of the characters in the line starting with the first
non-white space character and up to, but not including, the first unescaped '=',
':', or white space character other than a line terminator. All of these key
termination characters may be included in the key by escaping them with a
preceding backslash character;"
