I've no knowledge about Ruby, but this isn't perfect:

    41:    lines = lines.join.gsub("\\\n", "{LINE_CONTINUATION}").each_line.to_a
    74:    lines.reject!{|line| line.match(/^\s*#/) }

    
According to the spec.txt the backslash doesn't need to be the very last
character on the line. And the comments should be removed at a very eary
stage.

| Any non-comment line can be continued by ending it with a backslash. Note that
| the general rule for white space means that trailing white space after the
| backslash and leading white space at the start of continuation lines is
| ignored. Comment lines beginning with # (but not empty lines) may appear in 
the
| middle of a sequence of continuation lines.

    this_option = foo \
        # some comment
        bar \               <-- trailing whitespace!
        baz

is perfectly legal. But your script will not parse it perfectly, I
believe. But I may be wrong. As always.

    Best regards from Dresden/Germany
    Viele Grüße aus Dresden
