Great. All good.

I've done *some* work on ConfigObj - but not as much as I'd hoped.
Hopefully I'll get a couple of clear hours tonight.

I've fixed a couple of bugs - and uncovered two more, both of which I'm
not sure what to do with.

Only one of them *needs* a resolution now - the other one is minor and
I'll explain later.

It is possible to create new ConfigObjs programatically. Either manually
- or by passing in a dictionary to create the ConfigObj. In both cases
it is possible to create a ConfigObj where the first item is a section.
This means that when you call the ``write`` method the resulting config
file looks like :

    [ section ]
    key = value
key = value

Which is *invalid* !
My proposed solution is to have the ``write`` method check if the first
value is a section - and write out non-section values first (there may
not be any). This means not obeying sequence though, so it's not ideal.
