[hobbit] xml configs

[Haertig, David F (Dave)]

I'm well versed in XML and complex XLST transformations and PERL, I do
this all the time, but I still prefer to leave Hobbit's config files the
way they are.  I see no benefit in moving them to XML, except to support
some yet-to-be-developed GUI configuration tool.  Which I wouldn't use
anyway ... I'm a command line type of guy.  But if the Hobbit config is
delivered in XML files in the future, I won't whine about it.  I'll just
vi the XML and be on my merry way.

I don't do perl *or* xml, so that would  be a NO vote from me too.
