Re: yaml parser in C++

OK, I added some CMake files, and I tested it on Ubuntu with gcc (I
had to fix a bug having to do with the newline disparity on
Windows/Linux, but it seems to work now). Please let me know if anyone
tries it out.

Also, I'd second the suggestion that yaml.org be updated with a link
to this and other recent projects.
