Make it a single file.

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hey there.

I am trying to turn the whole library into just one cpp and one h file. The 
reason is, to make integrating into an existing project easier. Currently, I 
have to compile using wildcards, and including stuff.

g++ -c -I. *.cpp
ar rcs libyaml-cpp.a *.o

Using the library from within another project then requires that include paths 
are adjusted too.

The idea for combining everything into one file came from looking into ph7. It 
is just one .c and one .h file. So you can compile it into another project 
pretty easily.

g++ ph7.c mycode.cpp -o myapp

Or to phrase it in a build.ninja file:

rule cxx
  command = g++ -c $in -o $out
rule cc
  command = gcc -c $in -o $out
rule link
  command = g++ $in -o $out
build ph7.o: cc ph7.c
build myapp.o: cxx myapp.cpp
build myapp: link myapp.o ph7.o

Currently, I have to generate much larger build files to cover allt he yaml 
files - and adjust the include path.

Please consider the combination into one file.

Sorry, I don't plan to do this.
