I am contemplating writing a .cfg library for an open source project that I am involved with, and have read reference-cfg-format.pdf

Are there any tools to assist in developing or maintaining a .cfg library ?

These files have a lot of "boiler-plate"; does anyone have configs for an editor to simplify entering this ?

Is it cppcheck's job to inform (perhaps with --enable=style) when experimental/deprecated/obsolete APIs are used ?
How would I indicate such APIs in the .cfg library ?

Thanks,

See e.g. the lines starting with <warn in posix.cfg.

cppcheck-gui has an integrated editor for parts of the library files.
