No, I want the ini file to be human readable. The other thing to
consider here is that this is the equivalent of the long option
CLI parameter definition (i.e. -b size=foo vs --block="size=foo").
They'll get documented in the man page....

It is a result of the ini parser callback using "const char *" for
it's variables. I just whack-a-moled it to get it compile.

OK.

Because I got tired of whack-a-mole and these returned strings are
stored in the cli parameter structure and I didn't feel like chasing
the const rabbit down that hole.

i.e. the const on the input parameter goes as far as the input
parsing to verify it runs, and the verified input string that is
returned and stored is no longer const. Perhaps it would be better
to just strdup the string here and return that instead?

Ah, I modified this function first, then realised that it would be
better to keep the subopt table iteration separate because we didn't
need to use getsubopt() to separate "name=value" strings. I'll clean
that up.

I've been saying config file parsing is simple and easy to fit into
the existing option parsing infrastructure for a long time. :)

Cheers,

Dave.
