What about using . (dot) as the sub-key delimiter instead of / (slash) ?
Gosh ! I'm being Mozilla-ized ;-)

Given that sizeof(struct CONFIG_ENTRY) == 32, each table weights 128kb !
Assuming the hash function works well, I think a good compromise between
memory footprint and look-up efficiency could be 128 entries, which gives 4
kb per table.

Is it Unicode-safe ? Even if we switch to UTF-8 internally, there are
specific things to be taken care of.
