* Added "--with-dmalloc" flag, to easily enable support for the 'dmalloc'
debugging malloc implementation. -QAK, 2002/07/15
* Can use just enable-threadsafe if the C compiler has builtin pthreads
support.
* Require HDF (a.k.a. hdf4) software that consists of a newer version

New Features
============
* 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*/);
-QAK, 2002/07/15
* Added environment variable flag to control whether creating MPI derived
typed is preferred or not. This can affect performance, depending on
which way the MPI-I/O library is optimized for. The default is set to
