+Libconfig is a simple library for processing structured configuration
+files. This file format is more compact and more readable than XML and
+unlike XML, it is type-aware, so it is not necessary to do string
+parsing in application code.
+
+It is very compact and well-suited for memory-constrained systems like
+handheld devices.
+
+The library includes bindings for both the C and C++ languages. It
+works on POSIX-compliant UNIX systems (GNU/Linux, Mac OS X, Solaris,
+FreeBSD) and Windows (2000, XP and later).
