yaml-cpp version 0.5 migration?

[Shugyousha]

The yaml-cpp library version 0.5 was released a few weeks ago and apparently they changed the API quite a lot. It seems like the old API that is currently used in OpenXcom (yaml-cpp version 0.3) will still be supported for the time being though.

I started updating the sources to the new API version but then thought I would first ask here whether a migration is actually planned/wanted. I can offer to try to maintain a github fork adjusted to the new API version  (would make a good git training for me) if you think that would be helpful. What do you think?

sounds good to me

Sure. The plan was after the next release to take the chance to update/rewrite all the load/save for the new yaml-cpp, make it more backwards-compatible (default values), etc.

Sorry I dropped the ball on this one. I started converting the first 20-30 files but the whole thing took much longer than I expected and I wasn't sure whether I actually converted the sources in the best way possible.

On my machine everything is working fine using yaml-cpp 0.5 now, so that at least is one positive!
