XWin design suggestion

Internally, just use an API to store settings like
XWinStoreSetting( LPCTSTR lpszSettingName, LPCTSTR lpszValue, ...
(whatever) );

And implement it with .INI files on Windows 3.1, Registry settings on Win32
and whatever on other platforms...

So, I am going to have to see a much better reason than avoiding using
Windows features for using something other than the registry.  Sure, we
could use an XML config file... but that introduces another dependency
on XML libraries, which I really don't want to have.

Any other ideas?
