Hi, sguazt!

INI-file is a simplest format supported by my library (I understand that 
many programmers is quite enough INI-files). But Configurator supports also:
- option's default value and necessity,
- arbitrary nesting of sections,
- checks of value's semantic, "classical" (IPv4 and IPv6, path, email) 
and extended (file 'size' and 'time period'),
- options with multi-values (something like in Apache httpd.conf),
- reparsing with using initial default values of options (will be added 
in next version).
