Added routines to read the canonical UNIX configuration file. This will

later be applied to a number of programs (inetd for instance) to clean
out the bogus code doing the same thing, modulus all the bugs.

If you need to read a '#'-is-a-comment-file, please use these routines.

I realize that the shlib# should be bumped (for the non-US world:
increased by something), but will defer this until something significant
happens.

+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+These functions are used to read config files with the following syntax:
+.Bl -bullet -compact
+.It
+All lines where the first
+.Sq !isspace()
+is '#' are comments which are discarded.
+.It
+If continuation-lines are enabled, any line starting with a 
+.Sq isspace()
+character is joined to the preceeding line and blank lines are discarded.
+.It
+An entry starts at the first 
+.Sq !isspace()
+character and ends at the first 
+.Sq Li \en
+.Li .
+.El
+.Pp
+.Fn config_open
+will open the specified
+.Fa filename
+and read it into a private malloced area, and close the file again. If
+.Fa contlines
+is non-zero, continuation lines will be allowed.
+In case of trouble, the name of the system-call causing the trouble will
+be returned. If successful,
+.Fn config_open
+returns NULL.
+.Pp
+.Fn config_close
+will free the malloced area.
+.Pp
+.Fn config_next
+returns the next entry in the area. NULL is returned to indicate End-of-file.
+The returned string is null-terminated.
+.Pp
+.Fn config_skip
+returns the next word from the string
+.Fa *string
+.Li .
+.Fa *string
+will be advanced to point to the next word.
+NULL is returned to indicate the end of the string.
