- it is not ported atm (but it will be at least according to havoc)Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah....
- it is not completly stable yetExactly.
Ignoring all of the advantages that Armin mentioned. I consider
portability to Win32 a secondary consideration, and with the amount of
attention dbus is getting it should stabilize before too long. We aren't
going to be releasing 0.90 next week - take the long view.

* Basic text (i.e. not XML)This is actually what I prefer, but everyone seems to want something else these days.
This is probably because parsing text files yourself is really a bad idea...Look at text plists. You can get C plist parsing code from quakeforge CVS.
I consider plists a non-starter, as is defining our own arbitrary text
file format. If we decide that GConf is too heavy then I suspect that an
XML format and libxml2 will be the way we go.
