I have a suggestion.  I have not added any code, but I have monitoring
this mailing list from very early on.

What about making the config file an XML document?

This way, we can put the specification for any OS in it.

<plex86>
  <plex86_conf os=linux arch=i386>
  </plex86_conf>
  <plex86_conf os=win32 arch=i386>
  </plex86_conf>
  ...
</plex86>

Free C parser for xml are all over the net.  Some of them
even put the XML document into a binary-tree.

I think this would be flexible and quite extensible.
