I guess it's a question of whether the config files need to have more
than one level of nesting or not. If not, the .INI style is best. If
yes, use XML -- there's no sense in inventing a new format.

So -- do we need more than one level of nesting? I don't think so; SVN
client shouldn't be /that/ hard to configure. So I'll look at the parser
in libsvn_subr and invent some hooks for setting compile-time default
values. I've done all this before, so I won't be reinventing the wheel. :-)
