It would be really nice to have GKeyFile wrapped.  ConfigParser
isn't made for fd.o key files, and there are things it does
differently.  Notably, it doesn't handle translated keys.

I have a key file parser based on ConfigParser in Pulse:

http://gitorious.com/projects/pulse/repos/mainline/blobs/master/pulse/parsers.py

It's not a perfect implementation, but it doesn't a decent
job for what Pulse needs.  Until GKeyFile is available in
our Python bindings, people should feel free to steal that
code if they find it useful.
