Islandora 8: Create a toolchain that produces YAML config files for CSV migrations #510

https://github.com/Islandora/migrate_islandora_csv describes how to use Drupal's Migrate framework to batch ingest into Islandora 8 from CSV. Doing so requires the creation of a set of YAML config files.

Creating a CSV metadata file is easy, but creating corresponding YAML not so much. MIK to the rescue! We could create a toolchain that reads in a CSV and generates the required YAML files.

This would make MIK completely relevant to Islandora 8. Love this suggestion.
