Douglas Creager resolved AVRO-837.
----------------------------------

       Resolution: Fixed
    Fix Version/s: 1.6.0

I've gone ahead and committed this to SVN on the 1.6.0 trunk branch.  All of the existing test cases pass, so this should be backwards-compatible with 1.5-and-earlier code.  And the new avro_value_t API is pretty stable at this point.

Scott, your idea about comparing how we're doing this in the Java and C libraries is a good one.  I can make any tweaks that come up from that before we cut a 1.6.0 release.

> I've been working on a new interface for representing Avro values.  The new interface supports custom implementations, which allows you to directly use instances of existing C types as Avro values.  It also includes a "generic" implementation of the interface that's much faster and more space efficient than the old avro_datum_t class.  Lastly, the interface includes support for zero-copy getters and setters for bytes, string, and fixed values.
