[svn-r8671] Purpose:

    Code optimization

Description:
    Avoid a memory copy by directly reading from the variable-length sequence
buffer when there is no type conversion on the way to disk.

Platforms tested:
    Solaris 2.7 (arabica)
    FreeBSD 4.10 (sleipnir) w/parallel
    Too minor to require h5committest
