25% INI = ini2struct(FileName)
26%
27% This function parses INI file FileName and returns it as a structure with
28% section names and keys as fields.
29%
30% Sections from INI file are returned as fields of INI structure.
31% Each fiels (section of INI file) in turn is structure.
32% It's fields are variables from the corresponding section of the INI file.
33%
34% If INI file contains "oprhan" variables at the beginning, they will be
35% added as fields to INI structure.
36%
37% Lines starting with ';' and '#' are ignored (comments).
38%
39% See example below for more information.
40%
41% Usually, INI files allow to put spaces and numbers in section names
42% without restrictions as long as section name is between '[' and ']'.
43% It makes people crazy to convert them to valid Matlab variables.
44% For this purpose Matlab provides GENVARNAME function, which does
45%  "Construct a valid MATLAB variable name from a given candidate".
46% See 'help genvarname' for more information.
47%
48% The INI2STRUCT function uses the GENVARNAME to convert strange INI
49% file string into valid Matlab field names.
