Provide for TypeConversion

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Some useful converters should be provided with the library.  One example would 
be a
DictionaryToListConverter.  Useful in a situation where a dictionary of objects 
uses
a key that is a property of the value object.  On serialization the Values 
collection
of the Dictionary would be returned as the Converted object.  Upon 
deserialization, a
key property is specified and that value is read from the objects coming in and 
used
to construct the dictionary instance to be returned.

Supplying multiple convert attributes to create a chained converter turned out 
to not
be feasible since Attributes are returned through reflection in an unspecified 
order.
 Since a chained converter would depend on the order to work correctly, it couldn't
be done in this way.
