All that's necessary for you to be able to edit in your preferred
format is for *one* proplib-using application to expose the ability to
convert between different formats.  Then you run "plistedit --format
xyzzy /etc/foobar.conf" instead of "vi /etc/foobar.conf".  Yes, this is
jumping through a hoop, but I think it's an easy jump.
