I've spent a small amount of time playing with this patch, and the 
intent is there, but it appears to have some obvious bugs with adding 
blank lines and (at least) making an empty [DEFAULT] section appear and 
disappear. I'm not sure that this is the place to make these comments, 
so I will stop with that.

In case it wasn't clear, I am new here.. Hi.
