Any reason why we can't use JSON here? That would make everything *much*
easier to generate from tools. 

I totally agree with other people in this thread: as much as I like Nix
the language, I don't think we should create another JSON-like data
format.

Also, The only thange would be putting the attrs in "" and replacing the
; with ,. I don't think that would make it less readable.
