A viable alternative would be to still use the INI files, but place them in the 
user's folder, or the "all users" folder.
The first way, the settings will be user specific on a multi user machine.
The second way is more like the current 3.6 aproach, the same settings affect 
all users equaly on a given machine.
The advantage, you only have to copy your current ini files to the new location.
