[crossfire] File format

[Steven Johnson]

That sounds like a good idea to me.

I suggest YAML since it looks nice and allows comments.

XML is pretty verbose but handles anything.

JSON looks better than XML but technically doesn't allow comments.

I don't think INI files would support what crossfire needs.
