Hi everyone,
  I want to have a discussion about the configuration file format of
AfterStep again.  I have decided that I'll do the configuration
handling as time permits, as soon as we decide on what we want.
  I think before we decide how we'll layout the configuration files,
we have to set our priorities concerning GNUstep.  Do we want to be
GNUstep compatible?  If yes, then we should use PropList for
configuration, because that is compatbiel with GNUstep.  If not, then
our configuration files don't belong in GNUstep (~/.afterstep/
anyone?).
  If we choose to go either with an XML- or PropList-based
configuration, then I will get started right away.  Otherwise, I may
not have the time needed to write a parser for a brand new
configuration file format.

-Steven
