[Distutils] comparison of configuration languages

[David Cournapeau]

A missing dimension for comparison: round tripping support. It is quite
useful for formats when used as a configuration. The best I know in that
dimension is yaml (if using ruamel.yaml), which round trip comments.

OTOH, adding round tripping to something like toml should not be too hard
if the need arises.
