The Xpm file part is tricky because semicolons and spaces are
sometimes significant.

You need to be able to handle something like this.

[_polygon]
Type=0x14
Xpm="32 2 4 1"
"; c #7BCA6A"
"# c #7B956A"
"3 c #BDCA8B"
"4 c #BDCA8B"
";;;;;;;;;;;;###;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;"
";;;;;;;;;;;#;;##;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;"

So I think that using setCommentChar() is out. But checking for
comments only at the beginning of the line would be OK I think.
Probably at the end too if it doesn't already.
