I also stole it for another purpose (and made it libDbVarSub.a but libCom is
fine by me).

It works fine but does seem to have problems with empty values and missing
equals signs. It also doesn't permit you to define or re-define macros (all
the definitions are in the init call) which is, I feel, important for some
applications (e.g. you want to include the same file several times but with
different macro translations).
