No, but I've used Config_file for one of my applications, I was  
pleased with it and I think it meets all three of your requirements.  
To load and save custom types, you can write wrappers from/to the  
"raw" types. Only disadvantage is that I can't be installed as a  
Debian package (or not one that I'm aware of).

Best regards,
Bruno
