Subject: RE: [PATCH v2 6/6] cfgfile: add support for empty value string

We have a legacy file format that we need to support.   Other parts of our
system are able to handle a "key=" entry in the file so we are trying to gain
parity with those parsers.

I should have also mentioned that I briefly considered changing rte_strsplit() to be able to handle that case because in python the split function handles this scenario in the desired way:

	a = "key="
	a.split('=')
	['key', '']

But, I figured that change would be too intrusive and would likely be rejected.
