Config files

INI-like, syntax is the following : = . Comments are "#", not ";" as you may expect. See boost ticket All command-line parameters are allowed as keys, for example:

i2p.conf:

log = 1
v6 = 0

tunnels.cfg (filename of this config is subject of change):

# outgoing tunnel sample, to remote service
# mandatory parameters:
# * type -- always "client"
# * port -- local port to listen to
# * destination -- i2p hostname
# optional parameters (may be omitted)
# * keys -- our identity, if unset, will be generated on every startup,
#     if set and file missing, keys will be generated and placed to this file
# * address -- local interface to bind
# * signaturetype -- signature type for new destination. 0,1 or 7
