OSSP cfg project s a ISO-C library for parsing arbitrary C/C++-style configuration files. A configuration is sequence of directives, each directive consists of zero or more tokens, and each token can be either a string or again a complete sequence.

This means the configuration syntax has a recursive structure and allows you to create configurations with arbitrarily-nested sections.

The configuration syntax also provides complex single/double/balanced quoting of tokens, hexadecimal/octal/decimal character encodings, character escaping, C/C++ and shell-style comments, etc.

The library API allows importing of a configuration text into an Abstract Syntax Tree (AST), traversing the AST, and optionally exporting the AST again as a configuration text.

What's New in This Release:
The build environment has been upgraded to GNU libtool 1.5.22, GNU shtool 2.0.6, and GNU autoconf 2.60.
