Hi, Peter.  Thanks for the contribution.

There are a lot of changes in this patch so I think you need to think
about how you can break this up into multiple smaller and more atomic
patches.  In particular, the addition of the sexp output format needs to
definitely be in a separate patch from the restructuring of the output
formatting.  You also don't mention anywhere in the commit log that
you've added this new output format.  You'll also need to include
documentation and test suite updates.

Thanks.

jamie.
