Re: [Phpwiki-talk] IniConfig - it lives!

[Joby W. <joby@u.washington.edu>]

I've done some testing with PEAR_Config and the 'inicommented' method seems to 
work just fine with quotes (they do need to be escaped), so I'll put some effor 
into moving this forward.

But I'll limit my effort to config/ until after 1.3.8 so as to not hold up this 
already late revision.
