  YAML parser and stringifier for JavaScript (by eemeli)

This makes me happy. I've just done a review of yaml parsers available from Ruby recently to improve the error reporting. Unfortunately libyaml is just bad there - many indentation issues at the end of the document will report errors in line 2 with a completely lost context. Unfortunately x2, there's no real alternative.

I ended up parsing with libyaml and when something fails, parsing again using node and displaying errors through https://github.com/eemeli/yaml It's terrible but it works better. I hope to be able to use libyaml-safer in the future if it does improve on errors.
