This patch reworks support for both assignment and

format.

Commit dc9ca4ba27be4fe6a0284061b8f056c4364fb0d9
changed the behavior of "=" from assign to append.
This patch preserves the ability to append to an
option (however now via "+="), reverts "=" to its
previous behavior, and allows both to interoperate.

This deviates from standard ini syntax which makes me a big
uncomfortable with it. Gerd, do you have an opinion?

Also it the syntax change will break existing users of the append feature (host/guestfwd for slirp networking).

Any reason why you can't use the current append to avoid the overlong feature flag lines?

Another idea: One could reference other processors "base", then you can define a -- say -- Opteron_G3 as "Opteron_G2 features plus these".

cheers,
  Gerd
