See that guy in the corner? Twitching and twisting? He wrote an ANT 
makefile once. ;)

But one thing is annoying with YAML: Significant whitespace. \t or a 
proper space have different meanings, as does the amount of space.

Ain't it grant that
require "yaml"
var = Object.to_yaml # or dump, if you want to write a file
another_var = YAML.load var

makes it so very easy to use? And it can be read (not necessarily 
written) by humans, too.

Try reading and writing XML in just one three lines! ;)
