Right, but that isn't the problem.  If I move g_val_t into ganglia.h then I run 
into the same apr.h problems that we had before.  Libganglia depends on apr so 
therefore ganglia.h includes apr.h.  If metric.c includes ganglia.h to get the 
typedef for g_val_t then that drags apr.h into libmetrics again which is what 
caused the problem in the first place.  So I can't put the definition of 
g_val_t in ganglia.h or gm_metric.h.  Both places cause the same problem.  
That's why I created gm_value.h.  That should allow libmetrics, the metric 
modules and libganglia to get the typedef for g_val_t without dragging apr into 
libmetrics.
