I went through somewhat of the same last week. As I'm not that practiced
with templates I think it was easier to roll my own as I would not be
using strict ini format. The program_options ini is parsed in
boost/property_tree/ini_parser.hpp I just took that as a basis. (rather
than paste, here are my project files with 'profile.ini')
<lakeweb.net/content/resize_jpeg.zip>
So I parse the ini to get all the categories. Category 'arguments' is
passed directly to program_options. Then I can do what I'd like with the
rest of the categories. I've also wrapped program_options with my own
class and only see what I need to in main.
I think my implementation circumvents 'limitations', but can't say.
Best, Dan.
