Hello,

Hey, it's really fun to code in lua: pattern matching, easy table
manipulation and so on, I should have learned it earlier!

Since it's my first experience with lua, I would like to ask you for
comments on the t-inifile.tex module, attached to this message.

I tried to implement a demo-mode, but there are two small problems:
- I don't know how to use \savebuffer, all line-endings disappear in the
  saved file
- the utf-thinspace is ignored

Cheers and thanks a lot to the luatex and MKIV developers!
Peter
