Bug#911973: poor config file support

Package: gerbera
Version: 1.1.0+dfsg-2+b2
Severity: wishlist

Modifying the gerbera/config.xml is *more* than painful. xml was
made to be written and read by machines, not humans.

To improve means of configuration it would be very helpful if gerbera
could support the usual "option = value" syntax known from 99% of all
other config files. Not to mention the usual comment lines starting
with '#'.

This could help to make the configuration guide easier to read, too.


Just a suggestion, of course.

Regards
Harri
