Wow! I'm going to grab the latest JSBSim CVS and try this out.

There are ways to design config files so that they are both forwards-and-backwards compatible (with quality degrading gracefully both ways). When we're through this round of technical changes, let's see if we can make the JSBSim formats a little less brittle.
