[R] Read Windows-like .INI files into R data structure?

[Earl F. Glynn]

I need to process some datasets where the configuration information was 
stored in .INI-like files, i.e., text files with sections like this:

[Section1]
var1=value1
var2=value2
[Section2]
A=value3
B=value4

...

>From Google and other searches I haven't found any package, or function 
within a package, that reads .INI files into an R list, or other data 
structure.



Any suggestions, or do I need to write my own?
