GKeyFile syntax is not much like that. You could probably use GScanner
to do the lexing and some sort of simple driver function for the
syntax, but I've not tried.

flex and bison would be the standard C way of making something like this.

Alternatively, google reveals a huge number of bibtex parsers for
every language you can think of, perhaps one of those could be reused.
