3. Backward compatibility with 1.6
If you are going to use 1.6 APIs with 1.8 branch, you may do the following two things:
3.1 Uncomment out /*#define H5_WANT_H5_V1_6_COMPAT 1*/ inside h5pubconf.h under windows\src.
3.2 Set up an environment variable H5_WANT_H5_V1_6_COMPAT to 1, this will be used to test compatibility
of error APIs.
Remember to undo 1 and 2 after you test if you are not going to use 1.6 backward compatibility option.
