This may be completely out of topic, but I just though of mentioning
Google's "Protocol Buffers". These seem to serve a similar purpose to
proplib. Protocol Buffers, or protobufs for short, are, in my opinion,
much simpler to represent in their textual form and they can be
converted to a very compact binary form for serialization.
For more details:
http://code.google.com/p/protobuf/
They don't have a C interface (only C++), but I don't think it'd be that
hard to add one :-P
