i've added the headers/sources lang/SC_LibraryConfig.* and
common/SC_StringBuffer.* for use in the pb-project.

ENABLE_LIBRARY_CONFIGURATOR has to be defined in PyrLexer.cpp.

there are two functions in SC_LibraryConfig to set/free the global
instance at runtime:

SC_LibraryConfig::readLibraryConfig
SC_LibraryConfig::freeLibraryConfig

usage example:

char* fileName = ".sclang.cfg"; // used for error messages
SC_StringBuffer filePath(32);
filePath.appendf("/home/steve/%s", fileName);
filePath.finish();
SC_LibraryConfigFile file(&::post);
if (file.open(filePath.getData())) {
    SC_LibraryConfig::readLibraryConfig(file, fileName);
    file.close();
}
