OK.

What about this one? It grows like [1.3-]*1.3 (i.e. 1.3, 1.3-1.3, 
1.3-1.3-1.3...), is the release field also strictly necessary?

Directly from KDE's setup.ini:
@ kde-x-1.3
sdesc: "Patches for xfree 4.2.x (libXExt, libXft (qt3), Xwin)"
category: KDE-xfree
requires: cygwin XFree86-base
version: 1.3
install: kde-x-1.3.tar.bz2 1944453

I don't know yacc format enough to extract that information myself from 
iniparse.y.
But... steange inilex.l doesn't contain a token for "version:"... I 
guess I must study it a bit more.
