+Description: parsing and manipulation of structured config files(development)
+ This library features a fully reentrant parser and includes bindings for
+ both the C and C++ programming languages. It runs on modern POSIX-compliant
+ systems such as Linux, Solaris, and Mac OS X (Darwin), as well as on
+ Microsoft Windows 2000/XP and later (Visual Studio or MinGW).
+ .
+ This library allows parsing, manipulating and writing structured configuration
+ files. Its main features are:
+  - A fully reentrant parser: Multiple configurations can be parsed in
+    concurrent threads at the same time.
+  - A simple, structured configuration file format: more readable and compact
+    than XML and more flexible than Windows' "INI" file format.
+  - A low-footprint implementation
+  - Proper documentation.
