Well, maybe lua would be a good fit then, although I have to admit that I don't really have experience with it. It should be flexible enough to express nearly everything and would at least be more familiar than a custom language/config format like RainerScript. Rainer, have you written down somewhere what requirements you do have for your new config file format?
