The output form of --list-libraries has changed from jhc-0.7.2 to the darcs version (0.7.3 pre) which is unfortunate, since I use this option in Cabal to determine installed packages. Both formats contain enough information, but it is cumbersome to handle both of them.
Yes, I am moving jhc to use standard, language independent, formats whenever possible. One of the changes is to output all machine readable files in the YAML[1] format, which is naturally extensible, already has support in pretty much every language, and is human readable/editable as well. I am also going to change the psuedo-cabal library description files to YAML files as well, to avoid confusion with the actual cabal format. If it is a big issue, I can put out a 0.7.3 soon after I get a couple more changes in.
