   The constructor creates a group that manages name/value pairs and

   The root argument is either Fl_Preferences::USER
   or Fl_Preferences::SYSTEM.

   This constructor creates the <i>base</i> instance for all
   following entries and reads existing databases into memory. The
   vendor argument is a unique text string identifying the
   development team or vendor of an application.  A domain name or
   an EMail address are great unique names, e.g.
   "researchATmatthiasm.com" or "fltk.org". The
   application argument can be the working title or final
   name of your application. Both vendor and
   application must be valid relative UNIX pathnames and
   may contain '/'s to create deeper file structures.

   A set of Preferences marked "run-time" exists exactly one per application and
   only as long as the application runs. It can be used as a database for
   volatile information. FLTK uses it to register plugins at run-time.
