config parser patch for more graceful parsing

Hi,

some time ago I'd sent this patch but somehow it was silently forgotten without any notice. As the comment states this patch allows more freedom in the config file syntax; values will be read to the end of line or the comment sign (#).

This way one neither has to enclose nor escape string like these:

name = James Mc'Gregor
key  = MC JMS

I hope this patch could be in the next package.

           str_index += next_token;
         }

The stop condition is a clumsy replacement of isspace() due to ASCII character table:

0x09: '\t' (horizontal tab)
0x0a: '\n' (newline)
0x0b: '\v' (vertical tab) 0x0b, 
0x0c: '\f' (formfeed), 
0x0d: '\r' (carriage return)
