  30  *  This module performs lexical analysis and initial parsing of a
  31  *  Windows-like parameter file.  It recognizes and handles four token
  32  *  types:  section-name, parameter-name, parameter-value, and
  33  *  end-of-file.  Comments and line continuation are handled
  34  *  internally.
  35  *
  36  *  The entry point to the module is function pm_process().  This
  37  *  function opens the source file, calls the Parse() function to parse
  38  *  the input, and then closes the file when either the EOF is reached
  39  *  or a fatal error is encountered.
  40  *
  41  *  A sample parameter file might look like this:
  42  *
  43  *  [section one]
  44  *  parameter one = value string
  45  *  parameter two = another value
  46  *  [section two]
  47  *  new parameter = some value or t'other
  48  *
  49  *  The parameter file is divided into sections by section headers:
  50  *  section names enclosed in square brackets (eg. [section one]).
  51  *  Each section contains parameter lines, each of which consist of a
  52  *  parameter name and value delimited by an equal sign.  Roughly, the
  53  *  syntax is:
  54  *
  55  *    <file>            :==  { <section> } EOF
  56  *
  57  *    <section>         :==  <section header> { <parameter line> }
  58  *
  59  *    <section header>  :==  '[' NAME ']'
  60  *
  61  *    <parameter line>  :==  NAME '=' VALUE '\n'
  62  *
  63  *  Blank lines and comment lines are ignored.  Comment lines are lines
  64  *  beginning with either a semicolon (';') or a pound sign ('#').
  65  *
  66  *  All whitespace in section names and parameter names is compressed
  67  *  to single spaces.  Leading and trailing whitespace is stipped from
  68  *  both names and values.
  69  *
  70  *  Only the first equals sign in a parameter line is significant.
  71  *  Parameter values may contain equals signs, square brackets and
  72  *  semicolons.  Internal whitespace is retained in parameter values,
  73  *  with the exception of the '\r' character, which is stripped for
  74  *  historic reasons.  Parameter names may not start with a left square
  75  *  bracket, an equal sign, a pound sign, or a semicolon, because these
  76  *  are used to identify other tokens.
