  Description     : a stand-alone INI file reading/writing library

The iniParser library is a simple C library offering INI file parsing
services (both reading and writing).

Note that there have been two previous ITPs posted for iniParser:

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=582657
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=678142

There was concern in the discussion for #678142 about:

 1) Lack of a well-formed build/install system (iniParser includes only
    a bare-bones Makefile).

 2) Complexity ("Does anything depend on this, any potential users that
    couldn't use something simpler?")

I have addressed #1 by providing a CMake build environment for use by
the Debian package.

Regarding #2, my goal is to package the psmoveapi code for Debian,
which uses the write support of iniparser (not supported by inih).  I
also note that Samba seems to include an internal version of
iniParser.
