I'd like to shift my rather clunky code with too many hardcoded
constants over to using some sort of configuration file, ideally
something in a sensible ASCII format. I'd want to pass my code the
filename, and then it could read the file and pair things up in a
structure, so I might have a file like

input = myinputdata.dat
output = myoutputwillgohere.dat
aconstant = 1.0
anarray = [1,2,3]

and read it with something like
foo=readconfig('configdata.txt')
and get a datastructure from it like
foo.input='myinputdata.dat'
foo.aconstant=1.0 etc...

Shirley I don't need to reinvent the wheel? Anything functionally
vaguely similar would be very handy.
