           Summary: [configuration] Support Byte Order Marks
           Product: Commons
           Version: Nightly Builds
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: Configuration
        AssignedTo: commons-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: ebourg@apache.org


We should support byte order marks to detect automatically unicode files and
parse them with the appropriate encoding. Here is a description of BOMs:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byte_Order_Mark

I suggest the following changes:
- add a setUseByteOrderMark() method in FileConfiguration to specify if the BOM
should be added when the file is saved
- the useByteOrderMark flag is ignored if the encoding has no corresponding BOM
- on loading the file, look for a BOM at the beginning of the file and set the
useByteOrderMark flag to true and switch to the corresponding encoding. The flag
is set to false by default
