This patch reworks support for both assignment and
append in the config file parser.  It was motivated
by comments received on the cpu model config file
format.

Commit dc9ca4ba27be4fe6a0284061b8f056c4364fb0d9
changed the behavior of "=" from assign to append.
This patch preserves the ability to append to an
option (however now via "+="), reverts "=" to its
previous behavior, and allows both to interoperate.

This deviates from standard ini syntax which makes me a big 
uncomfortable with it.  Gerd, do you have an opinion?

Also it the syntax change will break existing users of the append 
feature (host/guestfwd for slirp networking).

Any reason why you can't use the current append to avoid the overlong 
feature flag lines?

Another idea:  One could reference other processors "base", then you can 
define a -- say -- Opteron_G3 as "Opteron_G2 features plus these".

cheers,
   Gerd

Impacting existing usage was my primary concern as well.
I'd run this by Mark who created the patch changing the
disposition of "=" to append and I didn't find any alarms
there.

The proposed scheme supports both semantics and arguably
seems more intuitive.  If that is the general consensus
and it won't unduly perturb existing usage the above
would be opportune before the current behavior becomes
more entrenched (e.g. by further dependencies such as the
proposed cpu model configuration).

But to answer the question, my prior patch can work with
either.

Thanks,
