I had a request for a config capability awhile ago.

It wasn't then or is now a big deal to me.

If it's picked up by Andrew at all, I prefer the
simpler style I posted as the code is smaller and
the arguments are just the same as the command line
so all of aliases work in the .conf file as well.

I do understand the desire for a Windows style .ini
though. If it's an .ini I think it should use:

[sections]
key=value

Maybe that only if checkpatch or some other script
uses a config as well.
