Extracting variables from within ks.cfg, interpreted from command-line

[Dan Trainor]

Hi, Chip -

Because I'm anal.

I don't want to use Anaconda's naming conventions for the components.  I 
wanted to use something that comforms closer to our system as a whole, 
i.e. ip= would become MYAPPIPADDR=, stuff like that.

Just wanted to let you know that, so you don't think I'm nuts, and you 
knew where I was going with that haha.

Thanks!
