[PD] defaults interface on 10.8

[Jonathan Wilkes]

Thanks for the report, katja.
It looks like we can use 'plutil' instead.
Does the manpage for 'plutil' in 10.8 include 'json' as a possible 
format for the '-convert' flag?

With the command as you specify, but also with command 'defaults'
without argument, it responds with:

"Command line interface to a user's defaults.
Syntax:
'defaults' [-currrentHost | -host <hostname>] followed by one of the following:
[...]"

Then follows the list with command options (read, read-type, write,
rename, delete, domains, find) and explanations. In other words,
'defaults' without argument or with argument 'export' are not valid
options on this system (10.8.5). Compare the issue described here:

Can you think of another approach to get what you want, that I can
test on 10.8.5?
