The Haskell/FFI stuff in "yaml" uses get_scalar_anchor(), which is
a symbol not present in the Debian libyaml. Once I noticed this I
became very confused about the embedded copy's relation to to the
PyYAML libyaml, and decided it was best to use the embedded copy
after all.
(I am now somewhat happily using data-object-yaml due to inadequacies
in yaml-light).
