=head1 TITLE

config.pir - Access Parrot configuration data

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  .sub _some
  ...
  load_bytecode 'config.pbc'
  # store the config data into $P0
  $P0 = _config()
  # Retrieve and print a key
  $S1 = $P0["cc"]
  print "Your C compiler is "
  print $S1
  print "\n"
  ...

 .end

=head1 DESCRIPTION

config.pir is a mechanism for accessing most of the data collected by
Configure.  It's roughly equivalent to Perl5's C<Config.pm> module.

At the end of a successful C<make> of Parrot, a PIR file generated by
Configure is run to put a file, F<config.fpmc>, into the library with a
frozen Hash of the configuration data.  This library provides a
function, C<_config>, to unpack and return that file's data.

C<_config> does not take any parameters.  It returns a single Hash
containing the data.  Keys that were C<undef> in Configure contain a
null string; otherwise they contain a non-null, possibly empty, string.

Note that the behavior of that hash when writing to any value (especially
undefined values) is undefined, and may be rather funky.
