// .NAME vtkKWOptionDataBase - an option database
// .SECTION Description
// This class can be used to store entries specifying how to automatically
// override the default settings/look&feel of any vtkKWWidget subclass at
// run-time. 
//
// For example, you may want all your vtkKWPushButton objects to use a blue
// background by default; this can be done by adding the following entry
// to the application's option database at startup:
//   myapplication->GetOptionDataBase()->AddEntry(
//      "vtkKWPushButton", "SetBackgroundColor", "0.2 0.2 0.8");
// From then on, anytime a vtkKWPushButton is created (using Create()), its 
// look&feel is configured and overriden automatically given the entries in
// the database (here, its BackgroundColor is set to a blue-ish color). 
//
// Collections of entries can be grouped inside a *theme*, subclass of
// vtkKWTheme. Check the Examples/Cxx/Theme for more details.
// Each vtkKWApplication object has a unique instance of a vtkKWOptionDataBase.
//
// Note that each entry is added as a pattern, a command, and a value:
//
// - the value can be empty if the command does not support any parameter, say:
//     AddEntry("vtkKWPushButton", "SetReliefToGroove", NULL)
//
// - the pattern can specify a constraint on the object context, i.e. require
//   that the command/value should only be applied if the object is of a 
//   specific class *and* has specific parents; this provides a way to 
//   configure widgets only when they are found inside other widgets:
//     AddEntry("vtkKWMessageDialog*vtkKWPushButton", "SetReliefToGroove",NULL)
//   => this entry will configure all vtkKWPushButton objects only if
//   they are found to be a child *or* a sub-child of a vtkKWMessageDialog.
//     AddEntry("vtkKWFrame.vtkKWPushButton", "SetReliefToGroove",NULL)
//   => this entry will configure all vtkKWPushButton objects only if
//   they are found to be an *immediate* child of a vtkKWFrame.
//   Of course, combinations can be used, say:
//     AddEntry("vtkKWMessageDialog*vtkKWFrame.vtkKWPushButton", ...
//
// - the pattern can specify a unique (terminal) slot suffix, that will be
//   used to configure a sub-object instead of the object itself. The 
//   sub-object is retrieved by calling Get'slot name' on the object.
//     AddEntry("vtkKWFrameWithLabel:CollapsibleFrame", "SetReliefToSolid", 0);
//   => this entry will configure the sub-object retrieved by calling
//   GetCollapsibleFrame on any vtkKWFrameWithLabel object, not the object
//   itself. This can be useful to customize specific part of a mega-widget.
