[drmaa-wg] C Binding Spec 0.96

[Daniel Templeton]

Here's my first draft of the C binding spec rewrite.  Believe it or not, 
it's even longer than the Java language binding spec!  I have not yet 
done a thorough proof reading, so if someone would like to do that, it 
would probably be a good thing.

In this document, I added "fixes" but no "changes."  A change is 
something new, like my drmaa_attr_get_num_elem() function.  A fix is 
something that was either broken in the previous version of the C spec, 
or broken in the language independent spec.  I have erred on the side of 
being inclusive, as it is easier to take thing out than to add them in. 
  Someone needs to check through my function return codes.  It is likely 
that some of them need to be removed.

I have tried to avoid adding original, new text if possible.  The 
majority of the text in this document comes from the previous C spec, 
the language independent spec, or the Java language spec.  Where there 
was a need for text which did not previously exist, I wrote it myself.

The last sentence of Section 3 needs to be expanded into its own section 
instead of just referencing the language independent spec.  I didn't 
feel this was something I should do on my own, so I didn't.

Please, someone read this through thoroughly.  I've stared at it for 4 
days now, so I'm blind to the mistakes.

Daniel
