Since this kind of complaints keeps occuring ever again, I guess it's best
to simply report errors when reading config files (as suggested by Tim)

--- config.h    2008/04/19 09:19:22     2.2
+++ config.h    2008/09/06 14:06:56

                        result = false;
-                      break;
                        }
                     }
                  }

and ignore the result values in vdr.c:

Of course Tim's change would have had the same result, but it also would
have made it completely impossible for the caller of cConfig::Load() to
determine if the call was successful.

Well, whether this actually increases the WAF remains to be seen. Starting
VDR with inconsistent config files may have all kinds of effects...
