The GLib.Value work is to support a simplified tree view/model:

1) There are overloaded methods which, instead of the Glib.Value-related
parameters, are simply "object".
2) There are overloaded methods which take System.Type instead of
TypeFundamental.
3) There are varargs versions of methods like in the C interace.
4) There are convenience overloads of methods for more common
operations, and to sanitize the out parameter behavior.

1-3 actually move us closer to parity with the C API while being more
.NET-like. I am somewhat less sure about 4 (it is hard to know what to
overload), but I am hopeful they will turn out to be useful.

The patches have been sitting half-done in my tree for a few weeks but I
was too busy to get them finished. Hopefully I can do that this weekend.
