Anyway to access custom fields in the manifest file?

I have a generic channel I am creating and I would like to define a few configurable values in the manifest and access them from my app.

So....
1) Can you programmatically access values that are defined in the manifest?
2) Can you add custom key/values in the manifest?

Thanks!

It's possible, but why not just have your own .ini file as part of the package?

True.

Just wasn't sure if there wasn't something already built-in to process the manifest. Sounds like I would just open the manifest and parse it like any other .ini file.

Thanks
