Any interest in an INI File configuration class?
It would read a Windows style .ini file.  A sample:

        [Section1]
        key1=value1

        [Section2]
        key2=value2

would produce the following properties:

        Section1/key1=value1
        Section2/key2=value2

Unfortunately, empty sections would not be dealt with
by the existing state of what i have.

Do I have to consider something else concerning submission/donation of the
code?
