More to the point, setup.hint's structure WILL be changing to accomodate setup.exe's needs. So anything that wants to work on setup.hint will need to change along with it - and I'm not interested in supporting multiple programs. There's enough work to do on setup.exe itself that adding work just doesn't interest me. Furthermore, those changes have to be syncronised to prevent setup.ini corruption (or even just unparsability) and to fit in with Chris's workload/time/goals. The goal of all this is to get setup.exe to parse metadata from within files a la rpm/deb, and thus when in-file support is ready I am intent on making the format of the in-file metadata the same as one of the above (why reinvent the wheel?).
