:Description:
    This module will read in the configuration ini.

**Modules Used (Batteries Included)**:

   * os
   * os.path
   * stat
   * string
   * time

:Concept:

    While not ideal, INI based configuration files, are easy to debug,
    and more important, easy to update.

    The module is passed the location of the configuration files,
    and will read in the necessary ini files (settings.ini by default).
    The different segments of the ini file will be stored in a seperate
    dictionary for ease of use..

code::

    load_data(<fqfn>)
    print config.configdata["USER"]
    print config.configdata["EMAIL"]
