Enable % erb processing for ruby in cucumber.yml file

[snowe2010]

It would be nice to be able to specify lines of code in the cucumber.yml file with % instead of <% %>. Our team has quite a lot of variables we use in the cucumber.yml file because we have quite a lot of profiles, so variables simplify things.

This is extremely easy to enable in the ERB loader, the only problem comes from the YAML loader. % marks a directive in YAML, so users would need to use the directives end marker line to signify that their code is not a directive (I have not needed to do this so far, but it could be a problem if they use the TAG or YAML directives.

Is this something I can submit a pull request for? I think it's ok to enable, and I don't see any problems arising from it.

Please do.

We're planning to replace cucumber.yml with a pure-ruby configuration file, but that's a way off yet so if this helps in the mean time, I'd happy accept a PR.
