This is a really great idea, it's much needed!
Can I make a suggestion though?
What if you did it "backwards." In other words if you search the ini for an entry under the parent rom name in the "[North America]" section it would give you the best match. If the game was actually released in that region, it would give that rom name. If it wasn't released in that particular region, but it WAS released in the native language of that region, that would be the rom listed. If neither are available, the parent rom would be listed.
Example:
[North America] puckman=pacman
[Japan] puckman=puckman
This way a front-end or list builder could build a list of all the "most correct" roms for your region.
