A full ack on this, we would solve a lot of items if we could move
forward to have a standard lib for all this. But it will be very
hard to have agreement on how to solve it and even more to make
projects move over from their current ways.

I think the process of getting other projects to use
this "standard" would be to put some though into the design and mark
multiple backends and multiple interfaces part of the design. If there
are libs, modules, languages binds, etc with as little dependancy hell
as possible, I think projects will eventually gravitate to this
solution. I know I wouldn't roll my own config parser if there is a
perfectly good one already included on my system , or which can easily
be added to any system.
