The story of our lives ;)  You're free to adapt config.lua for your
purposes, it only depends on utils.lua for a few things.

I've thought about that.  All those times we just want a good robust
function to split a string into a list - bringing in a 8,000 line set
of libraries does feel like overkill.  That was the thinking behind
LuaSnippets - have a standard place to keep short & useful functions
and make it easy to search for them.

Of course, config.read only goes one way, unlike say the win32 API for
ini files which allows for writes as well.
