[Oisf-wg-configuration_language] Configuration Structure

[Matt C]

I don't have much input on the configuration rules (because I don't have
much snort experience) but in my limited experience writing configuration
files I have used YAML with some success.  YAML is a data serialization
format that has several implementations (in pretty much every language).
More information can be found at yaml.org, or
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/YAML.  Although I haven't used snort all that
much, I do know that the configuration file can get a tad bit messy and is
somewhat confusing (at least for newcomers).  I have a feeling that
something like YAML could make the configuration a little more user
friendly.
