Please do not invent yet another format, and yet another set of tools
around it.  I suggested this before:  Please use the very same simple
text format that is being used by "env import -t" and "env export -t".

Among other things, this provides an easy and elegant way both to
create the file (by using "env export" in a running system where you
could interactively develop and test your settings, and to verify the
settings using "env import" before actually compiling the code.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
