variable not found

[GoogleCodeExporter]

If I give wrong value to variable (e.g. 'tessedit_pageseg_mode a' instead of 
'tessedit_pageseg_mode 1' tesseract complains:

read_variables_file: variable not found: tessedit_pageseg_mode

I think it should complain regarding value of variable or that 
'essedit_pageseg_mode a' is wrong combinations...

Technically, the error message is correct: tesseract searches for variables by 
the 
type of its value, so if you provide a string to an integer variable, it won't 
be 
found because the search has been restricted to a search of string variables.

I don't think that changing either the behaviour or the error message will be 
generally useful, but I'll keep this bug open for information purposes, and 
when I get 
a chance I'll put something on the wiki about it.
