this should be fixed now within the yarep lib, whereas I have not 
updated the dependencies of Yanel yet.

Also I have fixed another problem re line breaks which was noted as TODO 
within the code.

Also to make it backwards compatible I have introduced a version number 
which is a property itself:

yarep_vfs-meta-file-version<string>:1.0

which means all meta data which does not contain this property is being 
handled as before, but as soon as it is being
rewritten it should be handled with escaped colons.

All my tests are fine, but in case you should encounter any problem, 
please let me know.
