I was thinking that the standard library needs a configuration file (config.e) that would write cross-platform configuration files using native backends. For instance, registry on Windows and a simple $HOME/.dotfile on Unix.
This is just my personal preference, but I'd support a library that allows for cross-platform configuration files (such that the files can be copied from OS to another and still work).
On the other hand, a library that supports using backends such as w32 registry, gconf-2, etc would be more useful, but would also be a larger undertaking.
I was thinking that you could force using a particular backend, dot files for instance on any platform.
