Hi everyone,

I've just pushed my work on a new YAML module to the experimental branch (revision 2184). Rather than being backed by the old syck code that 1.8/1.9 use, this is backed by the libYAML library (BSD licensed). As of right now it appears to be about 4x slower than 1.9's YAML module, but there's a lot of room for optimizing my code.

This new YAML module aims to be wholly compatible with the old API inside yaml.rb. Please test this module out, and let me know if you find any inconsistencies or false results. As of right now it passes the RubySpecs for YAML::dump() and YAML::load().

(Oh, and sorry for spamming the macruby-changes list; git-svn applied something like 40 commits at one time. Oops!)
