necessity being the mother of invention... I came up with a hack once that
just might help you if it seem appropriate.
I did something like this by setting up a series of configuration overloads.
Something similar to the following psudocode:
load_config ("/etc/config/system_defs.ini"); // system wide defaults
load_config ("/etc/config/machine.ini"); // machine specific overload
load_config ("~/.machine.ini"); // user specific settings
with:
int load_config (char *fname) {
if (file_exists(fname)) {
...
Another idea to look at is to set up a variable in the .ini file like:
MACHINE_CONFIGS=/etc/config/system_defs.ini;/etc/config/machine.ini;...
and the initialization then grabs the MACHINE_CONFIGS var and then parses the
chain. The only problem I see with this idea is that var's might not
overload/chain properly. I just do not know that part of the code base to
make more specific suggestions.
Anyway, that is just an idea of something that worked for me in the past...
