'''Introduction:''' Traditionally applications write their own configuration parsers. Users would benefit from having established and supported configuration solutions that they can import into their application. 

Candidate configuration parsers:
 *  [http://www.nongnu.org/confuse/ libConfuse]
 *  [http://liblcfg.carnivore.it/ liblcfg]
 *  [http://www.rudeserver.com/config/index.html rudeconfig]
The fields in this table are as follows:

 *  Project - name of project with hyperlink to it.
 *  License - software license used. May need to link to license text if dual-licensed or "other".
 *  Language - what programming language is this written in?
 *  Active - is the project active?
 *  OK w/RTEMS Static - Is the license compatible with a statically linked proprietary RTEMS application?
 *  OK w/RTEMS Technical - Does the code appear to be feasible to run on RTEMS? Does the code make assumptions that would render it unable to run on RTEMS?
 *  Notes - Anything else

We will need to investigate what are viable and license-compliant solutions.

'''Goal:''' Create a package that allows for users to import a configuration parser to use with their application. The configuration parsing code must comply with the RTEMS license. This project may also be related to [wiki:Projects/GSoC/ApplicationConfigurationGUI ApplicationConfigurationGUI]

'''Requirements:''' This project is mainly about integrating another project with RTEMS. Familiarity with RTEMS build system, cross-compilation, and the ability to create good documentation are all must-haves.
