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