This is the sort of format I was thinking of, but I wasn't sure how to
parse it in a nice way. 'Nice' in this context means that:

* It can cope with strings, integers and floats
* The order of the file either doesn't matter, or can be changed fairly
easily
* New parameter names can be added to the code fairly easily
* Comment characters can be used
* Preferably that I don't have to write loads and loads of IF statements
to parse the file correctly.

Is something along those lines fairly easy to do myself? Or should I
wait for Paulo's routines?

Cheers,

Robin
