I remember once looking into the way OpenSimulator handles it's INI files. This was quite a while ago so I'm sorta fuzzy on it. But the assembly it uses, Nini, has both low-level functions for manipulating an INI, and higher-level wrappers that perform a lot of important tasks very easily and with a minimum of code. IIRC, OpenSim uses the latter almost exclusively, and those wrappers aren't very good at retaining human readable files with comments. There's also a few bugs in Nini, and I think that the quotes getting stripped might be one of those.
Long story short, fixing this would be best handled with upstream patches to Nini, which itself hasn't seen a new release in 4 years now. This could conceivably also be fixed by using the lower-level functions that Nini offers, but this would be a non-trivial piece of work for a developer, and result in significantly more code with a few ugly bits. Could also replace Nini too, I 'spose, but I'm not immediately aware of an adequate cross platform solution that would suffice. Anyhoo, I'd definitely regard the console config commands as currently unsupported and b0rked. A mantis couldn't hurt, if one doesn't already exist. -Marcus
