Config Files [was: options names and help]

Nick,

The thought of a config file has been mentioned before.  The question was 
asked whether anyone had a favorite library for reading/writing one, but 
there were no replies.  Come to think of it, I have some old code for 
reading a config file in dictionary format, i.e. "key=value" pairs.  Have 
you anything better?  Would you like to take on this task?  Would anyone 
like this task?
