I'm fine with that Rainer.  As I understand it,  we'll just drop the
libee dependency and add json-c as a dependency.  Correct?  From the
API, what sort of changes do you see.   I'm also not 100% sure how
json-c (which Sagan uses in some cases) and liblognorm will work
together.  Can you briefly explain?  Thank you Rainer.

I'll certainly modify Sagan to work with the new API as you see fit.
Thanks for the hard work.
