Title:
  Please provide a way to validate arbitrarily named sections

Status in configglue:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Hi,

  I have a use for configglue, but it doesn't yet meet all the criteria.

  I have a config file that looks like

  """
  [hwpack]
  name = foo
  architectures = bar

  [ubuntu]
  sources-entry=http://archive.ubuntu.com/

  [linaro]
  sources-entry=http://ppa.launchpad.net/linaro
  """

  where "hwpack" is always required, and the other sections are up to
  the user to choose.

  Therefore I want to be able to validate this. I can deal with the "hwpack" section fine, but
  I can't currently validate the other sections. I would like to be able to define an "other"
  validator, that is used to validate any section not explicitly named.

  Michael said that ConfigObj can do this with __many__.

  I don't know how this would link with the command line, but I don't have a requirement to
  override these sections from the command line at this time.

  Thanks,

  James
