Model output

[jjjt-git]

I am trying to use gtad in a project and have problems with building config and template.
After a few hours of testing and debugging and code-reading, I came to the conclusion, that implementing an option to output the models passed to the mustache engine into separate files should be possible (and very helpful for more inexperienced users), but my knowledge of C++ and the library used by gtad is not great enough to implement it myself. (or the words to search for to find a template, that will do just that)

Thanks for your interest, and sorry for a long wait with the response and the review. I assume what you were asking for here, you managed to fix in #60, or is there something else I'm missing here? Also, let me know if there's anything else I can help with - issues and PRs are very welcome!

No the Idea was, that it would help in development of templates and config, when there was an option to output the model, the template was filled with. My current method for this is to open a debugger (in my case gdb), set the breakpoint to the line, the template is filled with the model (main.cpp:13) and the print the contents of the model-variable (p model). Needless to say, this method is very indirect and difficult to scale for larger specs. It would be much easier, when it was possible to serialize the model-variable into json or yaml and place this file besides the generated sources.

Ah, yes, indeed, that's what I'm doing myself...

FYI: This proved to be harder than I hoped: the Mustache library used by GTAD doesn't give away the context on which it runs. Either the library has to be changed, or each piece of the context should be recorded at the moment of building it. I tend to the latter so far.
