the config file parsing stuff

I have FINALLY found the code to parse the Xorg config file.  I'm right now
editing up a heavily edited version of the C files, basically includes the
protos and the comments for every func I can find.

Look, I don't know this stuff well enough, but it's not anywhere else, at least
I haven't found it.  When I get this done, the following things could happen:

1) I do nothing but use it myself.  Seeing as there isn't anything else
available on this subject, that'd be a waste, wouldn't it>

2) I try my hand at editing a Wiki page.  From what I know so far on this
subject, well, *I* certainly wouldn't trust me.

3) I just commit a README file in that dir, and someone stick a pointer to the
fact that it's available on one or more of the wiki pages.

4) Someone who knows this better than I do that my README as a start, and edit
it themselves.

Any of these sound good?  I'd hate to see the work go to waste, although I
suppose the possibility exists that a write on this topic DOES exist somewhere.
 In that case, I'd like a pointer and I'll be thankfully quiet on the subject.
