What about Lua?  (http://www.lua.org)

it started up as a configuration language, and evolved into a full
programming language, while remaining _very_ light (less than 200K
with all libraries), and wonderfully easy to embed into C programs.

Okay, so much for the upsides. Now for the downsides: a language that nearly nobody knows, for something that is not meant to be executed (think security implications).

What is sure is that I don't wish to use a language as configuration file. The configuration file must be seen as a serialization of variables. It is simple to understand, can be processed automatically in case of a GUI and its format can be easily changed.

Fabrice.
