See the object_load_props() and object_save_props() functions in
lib/properties.[ch] -- these do exactly that. I didn't end up using them
for the objects I converted over to properties because they ended up with
subtly different formats, which would have broken old dia files. For new
objects though, these could very easily be used for this purpose.
