Summary: ConfigParser feedback

1. ConfigParser chokes on sections headers with spaces (ie [Log File] ).  I 
know that these are vaild on MS Windows, and I'm pretty sure they are valid on Unix config files. It looks like just the regular expression needs to change for the headers (sorry I'm really bad at regex).

2. sections() returns all sections including the '__name__' key.  Should it?  It's pretty easy for us to skip, but it's just used internally.
