One thing I’ve always wanted, even as an add-on library (not even
necessarily an SDL_* one), is a way to platform-independently manage
configuration files.
What I’m doing right now is a bunch of #ifdef’s, and rolling my own.

If you have already done it why not wrap it up as a library for the rest of
us 
Because I don’t know how to do it under other platforms. :^)
For example, under Windows, I currently use stupid “progname.dat” or
"progname.cfg" files. I think it should be done using the ‘Registry’
(or however all other Windows programs do it).
I doubt what I have right now under Mac OS X is the best way
(probably better than what I’m doing under Windows).
No idea about Mac OS classic. No idea about BeOS.

Maybe we could sort something between us, I know I would find it very
useful. What platform do you use? I currently use Windows XP, 98 and
Mandrake Linux.

I would suggest simple INI files since text files can be read with every
platform and there are no issuses with the byte order or such…
XML would also be an idea but an interpreter would make the executables
biggger and a bit slower… (but since the configuration files are mostly
loaded at start time it would not matter so much…)
