It isn't perfectly readable, but not much more unreadable that current MEKA.NAM
(and if there's a need I could always work out a simple Windows APP to edit that?)

Note that currently MEKA won't use or display all fields.
For exemple, an additionnal "BR:name" (eg: Nuclear Creature) won't be displayed 
in the file browser, but I'm sure I could print it out somewhere.

//I'll be sure to add support for the backslash metacharacter, to inhibit
//effects of ',' ';' etc... (currently ',' are a problem in MEKA.NAM).
//(done)

I also want to store full country release information, but I have yet to 
choose the flag display policy (currently, MEKA and SMS Checker only 
specifying country/flag for "specific" version).

Any comment?
