[ZODB-Dev] Zodb with Yaml

[Chris McDonough]

Hmm.   A scan of the files in ZODB and persistence also turn up the  
conflict resolution code, the import/export machinery, and  
FileStorage.  And a bunch of tests.  And maybe the pickle cache and  
cPersistence.c (although I haven't looked closely enough at that code  
to know if it would need to be modified, maybe the function names in  
the code are misleading).
