The data contained in either environment variables or ini files
should have exactly the same format.

Trailing blanks are preserved in both env var and ini files.
So I still don't think quotation marks are necessary...

I didn't mean open source in the GPL way.
The library is free to use with no ties - other than I would like to be notified
if you make any changes/corrections, so I can update it.
Actually I hope you will all use it, so we get the exact same behaviour in all programs.
An LDraw code repository...
I'm almost done writing the library and the LDrawSetup application.
I want the library to be as simple as possible to use.
Reading the env vars and ini files is platform independent,
only the hunt for ini files goes into #ifdef's.
I think having ldraw.ini in LDRAWDIR is contradictory, the hen and egg problem.
To keep thing simple I would like to have only *one* ldraw.ini,
and since we're going to have it in HOME/USERPROFILE/windir anyway to find the LDRAWDIR,
I don't see any reason to spread it out.
The hunt for ldraw.ini could be:
Windows:
%LDRAWINI%
%USERPROFILE%\ldraw.ini
%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\ldraw.ini
%windir%\ldraw.ini
Unix:
$LDRAWINI
$HOME/.ldrawrc
$HOME/ldraw.ini
/etc/ldraw.ini
Mac:
plist or like Unix?
