 * class FieldDataSource
 *
 * FieldDataSource is a specific version of DataSourceObject which takes
 * the data for a given Field and formats it properly for use by other
 * agencies.  This initial version collects all the data onto a parent node
 * and then formats it for the desired agency.  This is done by calling a
 * virtual method 'insert_data' for each LField worth of data collected onto
 * the master node.  Future versions will properly redistribute the data
 * based on the needs of the recipient.
 *
 * Subclasses must provide versions of the DataSourceObject virtual functions,
 * as well as the insert_data virtual function.
 *
 * This is a rewrite of some sections of FieldView.
