You are missing a point: there already is a working parser, and it has
to be extended anyway - why use a different format for the file?

Actually, if you look at the code, using proplib for this makes the
code more complicated (not a lot, but it does) - because right now
proplib does not include functions conveniently usable for config file
handling. [1]

Now if people want to completely get away with interactive userconf,
or have other plans (that might use different data in the same context),
it should be easier to discuss if those people propose the big picture
first.
