* Added MPI-posix VFL driver. This VFL driver uses MPI functions to
coordinate actions, but performs I/O directly with POSIX sec(2)
(i.e. open/close/read/write/etc.) calls. This driver should _NOT_
be used to access files that are not on a parallel filesystem.
The following API functions were added:
herr_t H5Pset_fapl_mpiposix(hid_t fapl_id, MPI_Comm comm);
herr_t H5Pget_fapl_mpiposix(hid_t fapl_id, MPI_Comm *comm/*out*/);
