If you are interested in "configuration frameworks" but feels that Elektra
just isn't the right way to go, I suggest that you take a look at my own
project Hiveconf: http://freshmeat.net/projects/hiveconf/

In my opinion, the design makes it much less intrusive than Elektra. For
example, I don't expect that we can convince projects like Apache,
Sendmail, Postfix, Samba etc to change configuration file formats.
Instead, the configuration system should support different file formats by
"plugins" or "backends".

My thoughs on the Elektra project can be found at

A Python implementation of Hiveconf exists. The next step is to write a C
implementation and plugins.
