	* compConfig.cxx (cfgroot_component::num_invalid_chars): New.
	(cfgroot_component::configure): Initialise it.
	(cfgroot_component::max_invalid_chars): New enumerator.
	(cfgroot_component::emit_invalid_char_error): New method.
	(cfgroot_component::consume_token): Factor out common error
	handling code into cfgroot_component::emit_invalid_char_error.
	(cfgroot_component::parse): Stop parsing if too many invalid
	character codes are encountered and emit an error message.
