Yes, I am moving jhc to use standard, language independent, formats
whenever possible. One of the changes is to output all machine readable
files in the YAML[1] format, which is naturally extensible, already has
support in pretty much every language, and is human readable/editable as
well. I am also going to change the psuedo-cabal library description
files to YAML files as well, to avoid confusion with the actual cabal
format.

If it is a big issue, I can put out a 0.7.3 soon after I get a couple
more changes in. (the main one being a dependency output for franchise's
benefit)
