As best as I can tell, it's a line-based file format, where each line 
contains a key/value pair. Basically if I use the tool and it changes 
the line that says "mode=7" to read "mode=9", then I want to make that 
change to all the files in the set. Similarly if it adds a new line or 
removes an existing one.

I imagine you can probably do it somehow using diff and patch. But those 
aren't usually present on Windows. (I gather Emacs has a special mode 
for viewing the output from diff or something like that... Presumably 
that only works on Unix though.)
