How about using Qt C++ regular expressions to read the data and then 
write it out as something rigid for your SDL to interpret?

Regular expressions are pretty flexible when dealing with floating point 
numbers.  For example, I parse this whole file from my cave scene. It 
lays out the points of the plants and paths of the fish.

This is the file that reads and writes that data.
http://git.buckosoft.com/gitweb/pov.cgi?p=forester.git;a=blob;f=filehandler.cpp

I would be willing to help you get that going, if you'd like.
I'd hate to see your dreams die.  Plus, I want to see POVghanistan. :)
