I find this format utterly ugly.  You have sections like INI files, but 
then refuse to keep to that format.

Besides, I fail to see why this has to be a config file?  All other 
settings are command line switches and/or monitor settings, and there is 
no good reason why switches and jumpers should not be handled that way.
