Don't know if there are any standard ones, but I wrote one for use in
XNotesPlus.  It's in the config.c file under srcgtk-d.  The main routine is
XPReadConfigFile(), but it calls at least one, maybe two, other utility
functions.  Not hard to pull out and use on their own.  It parses name
value pairs but you'll have to deal with the enclosing double quotes
yourself.

You can use those functions if you'd like.
