Using empty variable descriptions in the config file causes an error. #23

This happens when the 1_Configure.py script from CPFBuildscripts is used with the -D option.

We need to improve the function that reads the cache variables from the files.
We should still copy the variable description when using the -D option to overwrite existing values.

The problem could not be reproduced and Knitschi/CPFTests commit ee35ea7fc8ede80f7bf674e84c71320dcf7d0026 adds a test to verify the functionality. The problem was probably fixed when unit tests where added for the functions in the cpfListUtilities module which exposed some problems with empty list elements that were then fixed.
