To compile the program you can use pkg-config to get all of the required
linking and library information for Ecore_Config.
+
+If you run this program as is you will receive the values put into ecore_config
+as the defaults as output. Once you know the program is working, you can create
+a simple custom.eet file to read the values.

-Changing the configuration values and saving those changes is similar to

-before calling the library shutdown function and recompile.
+When build_cfg_db.sh is executed it will create a custom.eet file in the
+current directory. This file can then be copied into
~/.e/apps/PROGRAM_NAME/config.eet
+where PROGRAM_NAME is the value passed into ecore_config_init. Once the file is
+copied in place, executing the test program again will show the values given in
+the config file instead of the defaults. You can specify as many, or as few of
+the configuration keys in the config file and Ecore_Config will either show the
+user value or the default value.

-NOTE: edb_ed does not seem to be able of opening files created with
Ecore_Config
