Not sure what you mean by unicode support exactly. Write now the
library will work fine, as far as I can tell, if the .conf file has
some multilingual stuff, as long as then encoding is utf-8. In utf-8
the encodings for =, [, ], ', and " remain the same as ascii, and
there are no 0x00 bytes(NULL) in any normal printable characters. For
any other characters it doesn't matter since the library only operates
on the bytes. I guess it might not work for other encodings
though. Perhaps the library doesn't need to support other encodings
though, we could simply require programs to convert input to utf-8
using iconv (http://www.gnu.org/software/libiconv/) for instance.
