As said elsewhere, there was already an ITP, and even an RFS. However, I
seem to recall having a look at this library, and running away
screaming. I believe it was done as part of reviewing something that
depended on it, I'm not quite sure anymore..

Nevertheless, I would still like to ask: why? Does anything depend on
this, any potential users that couldn't use something simpler? (There's
another ini parsing library, also in C, in about 100 lines of code
instead of 1500, that does pretty much everything this one does, and is
far less scary.)
