Christopher Collins resolved MYNEWT-137.
----------------------------------------
     Resolution: Fixed

The solution was to rewrite the parts of yaml.v2 that we need.  This wasn't as 
bad as it sounds because:
     * Most of yaml.v2 is actually MIT-licensed, as it is a direct port from 
the libyaml C library.
     * We only need to decode YAML, not encode.

That said, this naive solution is still troubling.  All libraries which depend 
on yaml.v2 need to be forked and changed so that they import our yaml library 
instead.  In our current code base, viper is the only library which depends on 
yaml.v2, so the maintenance cost isn't horrible.

Replace YAML dependency in Newt tool

            Priority: Blocker
             Fix For: v0_8_0_beta2


We need to replace the YAML dependency in the newt tool.  Currently this LGPL 
dependency is causing issues with building and distributing Newt.
