        * doc/dbus-specification.sgml: Change the header field name
        to be an enum and update the rest of the spec to reference
        the fields using the conventinal name.

        * dbus/dbus-protocol.h: update to reflect the spec.

        * doc/TODO: add item to remove the 4 byte alignment requirement.

        * dbus/dbus-message.c: Remove the code to generalise the
        header/body length and serial number header fields as named
        header fields so we can reference field names using the
        protocol values.
        (append_int_field), (append_uint_field), (append_string_field):
        Append the field name as a byte rather than four chars.
        (delete_int_or_uint_field), (delete_string_field): reflect the
        fact that the field name and typecode now occupy 4 bytes instead
        of 8.
        (decode_string_field), (decode_header_data): update to reflect
        protocol changes and move the field specific encoding from
        decode_string_field() back into decode_header_data().

        * dbus/dbus-internals.[ch]: (_dbus_header_field_to_string):
        Add utility to aid debugging.

        * dbus/dbus-message-builder.c:
        (append_string_field), (_dbus_message_data_load): Update to
        reflect protocol changes; Change the FIELD_NAME directive
        to HEADER_FIELD and allow it to take the field's conventional
        name rather than the actual value.

        * test/data/*/*.message: Update to use HEADER_FIELD instead
        of FIELD_NAME; Always align the header on an 8 byte boundary
        *before* updating the header length.

  - I don't want to introduce DBusObject, but refcounting and object
    data could still be factored out into an internal "base class" 
    perhaps.

+ - Header fields names are required to be aligned on a 4 byte boundary
+   at the moment. No alignment should be neccessary.
