Use the right tool for the job, rather than forcing one tool to be used
everywhere for everything.
But once you've started using "win.ini" and then get a complicated
structure that you want in the config file, you're at an Oh Shit!
moment. You either hack it up (CSV values, with escapes and all the
parsing that goes with that) or you switch to XML.
Sounds more like you're storing data, rather than configuration.
Plus, if your configuration is that complicated, you have another issue:
you can no longer configure your program from the command-line. Losing
*that* capability bothers me a lot more than XML or no XML.
I'm talking five-nines systems here, not CLI's
