You need to recognise AV pairs from existing options for that, so why
mix them? You could as well decide at the first option if parsing should
be done old style or new style.
The old parsing code could be enclosed in #ifdef, making it easy to
leave it out some day. I also suggest to split the "spamd" attribute
into "interface", "port" and "path".
