* Added a new public macro, H5_VERS_INFO, which is a string holding
the HDF5 library version information. This string is also compiled
into all HDF5 binary code which helps to identify the version information
of the binary code. One may use the Unix strings command on the binary
file and looks for the pattern "HDF5 library version".

information macros (H5_VERS_MAJOR, H5_VERS_MINOR, H5_VERS_RELEASE,
H5_VERS_SUBRELEASE and H5_VERS_INFO) are consistent.
