What kind of configuration are you reading from these ini files with
CMake?

AFAIK CMake has no native xml support. You could probably hack something
together but if you're reading CMake configuration data, I would store
that in a format that is as friendly as possible for CMake. Thus, I
would choose to use a CMake script. Something like:

set (var1 "value1")
set (var2 "value2")
...

It's really the same as XML, just with different syntax :).
