I know only of aelparse for extensions.ael (utils dir if i'm not mistaken)

For the rest - you can get trough with simple regexps (config file formats are 
nearly identical). extensions.conf is generally the same format as other 
config files, however you should check syntax of applications, and priority 
ordering (if you are using it at all).
