+ <longdescription>
+ Parser and writer for handling sectioned config files in
+ Haskell.
+
+ The ConfigFile module works with configuration files in a standard
+ format that is easy for the user to edit, easy for the programmer
+ to work with, yet remains powerful and flexible. It is inspired by,
+ and compatible with, Python&#39;s ConfigParser module. It uses files
+ that resemble Windows .INI-style files, but with numerous
+ improvements.
+
+ ConfigFile provides simple calls to both read and write config files.
+ It&#39;s possible to make a config file parsable by this module,
+ the Unix shell, and make.
