Hi,
some time ago I'd sent this patch but somehow it was silently forgotten without
any notice. As the comment states this patch allows more freedom in the config
file syntax; values will be read to the end of line or the comment sign (#).
This way one neither has to enclose nor escape string like these:
name = James Mc'Gregor
key = MC JMS
I hope this patch could be in the next package.

The stop condition is a clumsy replacement of isspace() due to ASCII character
table:
0x09: '\t' (horizontal tab)
0x0a: '\n' (newline)
0x0b: '\v' (vertical tab) 0x0b,
0x0c: '\f' (formfeed),
0x0d: '\r' (carriage return)
