-*about*
-
-Simple functions for loading config files.
-
-Included are functions to load config data (key=value pairs in a text 
-file) into a (Map String String) or into a [String] in the form 
-["--key1=value1","--key2=value2"]. For more info and examples see 
-the generated haddock API documentation.
-
-This module was motived by the desire to factor this repetitive              configuration file parsing code out of several of my projects.
-
-These functions offer very simple behavior which may be fine for             many tasks. For those needing something that does more, including            building and saving config data and .ini-style [section]s, may I             suggest Data.ConfigFile                                                      <http://hackage.haskell.org/cgi-bin/hackage-scripts/package/ConfigFile>.
-
-This library is known to work with GHC 6.10.1 (and probably still 6.8.x and possibly 6.6.x. But I haven't tested these).
-
-
-*install*
-
-Build and install in the typical way for Cabalized software:
-
-   $ runhaskell Setup.hs configure
-   $ runhaskell Setup.hs build
-   $ runhaskell Setup.hs test
-   $ runhaskell Setup.hs haddock
-   $ runhaskell Setup.hs install
-
-(Note: this project *does* have unit tests. I encourage you to run them!)
-
-
-* getting it *
-
-You should be able to get fez-conf from Hackage or its own homepage:
