Thanks, looks like a very good start point. I'd need to do some hacking
on it to also get the comments, which I use as tooltips in the GTK+
frontend, but is the kind of thing I'm looking for, so I can easily move
between different rc.conf styles (NetBSD vs FreeBSD) without having to
start from scratch every time.
 
Cheers,

        Of course it runs NetBSD!
