#7759: Support ; as comment character in config file

 Reporter:  uniwangshan@…          |       Owner:  vladimir_prus  
     Type:  Feature Requests       |      Status:  new            
Milestone:  To Be Determined       |   Component:  program_options
  Version:  Boost 1.47.0           |    Severity:  Problem        
 Keywords:                         |  
-----------------------------------+----------------------------------------
 Currently # is hardcoded as comment character, but for ini file, both #
 and ; are widely used as comment characters.

 Because program_options doesn't allow a non-section line without =, the
 config file parsing will fail if there are ; comments which doesn't have =
 in it.

 For example, this line will fail to parse:

 ; This is a comment

 The easiest fix will be adding check of ; in
 common_config_file_iterator::get()

 Thanks.
