If a good configuration format for D is established, it will (or
should) be used everywhere.

OK, that is not important. The point is: Config files have to
be edited by humans and all the quotes are simply superfluous,
annoying and error-prone.

The appropriate file format has low-priority and may be discussed
when a general decision about using dub as build-tool has been
made. I am for it! So let us continue with more important issues
for now.
