Groovy Config Writer

This Library is a first attempt, at making a config writer for the groovy format used, by the config slurper. I don't make any claims that this covers all edge cases, in fact there are a few hacks to make this work with a sample from Grails application.yml. If you come across edge cases that don't work be sure to raise an issue on github: https://github.com/virtualdogbert/GroovyConfigWriter/issues

I wrote this to be used in a script to provide a conversion from yml to groovy, which I though there should be, because I find the groovy format to be more flexible, and readable, then yml. I found it Strange when Graeme Rocher said: "But to answer the question more concretely we wanted a format that is machine writeable as well as readable"

Surely since there is a Config Slurper, there has to be a config writer right? Well I was wrong, and that was another big reason, why I wrote this library.
