Rather than support the old file format, I will ask a friend that does a lot of regex replacement strings if there is a perl s/// command we can use to convert the existing config file they have to the new format.

Tht's not a so good idea: preg is an optionnal module for php3, that's why we use only regexp in the whole code. Moreover I'm pretty sure it's a hardest work for the server to parse the file using regexp or preg than including a file with some basic tests and affectsations.

I hadn't meant include it in the source, but rather just have a perl script in our scripts/directory for the people converting to the new version to use.
