The installer currently has a cumbersome way to adding new components to be
recognized and therefore installed.
When adding a new component, the user has to make sure that the section name for
the component in the config.ini file is in a sequential numbering order, ie:
...
Component10
Component11
Component12
...
And in addition to this requirement, each Setup TypeX section need to contain
the components in a certain sequential order.
[Setup Type0]
C0=Component10
C1=Component11
C2=Component12
...
This makes it extremely *difficult* and *confusing* to verify a change from a
given patch (as was encountered many times in the RTM release process). The
simplification is to remove the 1st requirement so that arbitrary component
section names can be used. This will make it easier to define and add new
components to each of the [Setup TypeX] sections.

this patch removes the requirement for sequentially listed sections and keys as
initially reported. the problem was that the parser was matching the first hit
for "Component1", which could be "Component10" if the components were listed
out of order.
this will not fix bug 170170, which would require much more substantial
changes.
