This uses a combination of `plutil` and `pl` to create the ASCII format property list representation. First, `plutil` converts the property list to XML format for consumption by `pl`. Then `pl` converts the XML into old-style ASCII format. The output from `pl` is formatted identically to that of `defaults`. This also adds a 'Convert to Pretty ASCII' command in order to preserve the existing functionality that uses `pretty_plist`.
