Need rewritable ConfigParser package

[pehr anderson]

Dear Jake,

I was rather frustrated with the current ConfigParser interface
and from what I've heard, I'm not the only one.  I haven't 
written many parsers in my life so I can't really criticise it
but it sure feels clunky.  

I would be delighted to help test a solution.
I currently have a project that *needs* this but I 
haven't gotten around to writting it either.

There must be others who feel the same way.
I bet a good implementation could get included
into the standard distribution for 2.0.
