Colinux is the first project I know of that has abandoned XML
config files because they were too unreadable and difficult
for users to maintain.
[They've gone back to just putting the command-line options
into a file! Not necessarily the best approach, but better than...]
Let's hope they are the first of many....
Happy New Year to all,
Martin
