If we're going down this slippery slope, why not just give up and add
a --xml switch instead?  Readable by all and a lot more flexible than
--perl, --python, --ruby, --tcl, --sh, --c++, --fortran, --lisp,
--html, --that-next-silver-bullet-language-that-hasnt-been-invented-yet-but-will-need-its-own-switch-once-it-has-been.

That said, parsing the config file as-is can't be so difficult that we
need to export it to separate files with a different syntax, now can
it?
