I actually started work on something like this today - there are still
times when a plain testfile is necessary, and XML is too complicated
for many objects. I can barely imagine the horror of an XML-ified Mutt
configfile!

It's (going to be) a small library where you fill a struct with the
name of the file to load, call a function, deliver a list of tags to
look for and whether to read as plain text or values. Simple as that.
Very amiga-ish. C. Portable. Neat. Mine.

Anyway, how quickly do you need it? ;)
I've got the code I tossed up while eating my stable & healthy lunch
today, but it's got a few hours of hacking before an 0.0.1 goes on
my SourceForge account :/
