when --enable-hdf5v1_2 configure flag is enabled.
* Tweaked a few API functions to use 'size_t' instead of 'unsigned' or
'hsize_t', which may cause errors in some cases.
* Fixed a bug of H5pubconf.h causing repeated definitions if it is included
more than once. hdf5.h now includes H5public.h which includes
H5pubconf.h. Applications should #include hdf5.h which handles multiple
inclusion correctly.
* Fixed H5FDmpio.h to be C++ friendly by making Parallel HDF5 API's to be
external to C++.
* Fixed a bug in H5FD_mpio_flush() that might result in negative file seek
if both MPIO and Split-file drivers are used together.
* Added new parallel hdf5 tests in t_mpi. The new test checks if the
filesystem or the MPI-IO can really handle greater than 2GB files.
If it fails, it prints information message only without failing the
test.

library to link either with the Trace libraries as before or with the
Pablo Performance Caputure Facility.
* Improved regular hyperslab I/O by about a factor of 6 or so.
* Added two simple parallel performance tests as mpi-perf.c (MPI
performance) and perf.c (PHDF5 performance) in testpar.
* Added a parallel HDF5 example examples/ph5example.c to illustrate
the basic way of using parallel HDF5.
* 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".
* Added new checking in H5check_version() to verify the five HDF5 version
information macros (H5_VERS_MAJOR, H5_VERS_MINOR, H5_VERS_RELEASE,
H5_VERS_SUBRELEASE and H5_VERS_INFO) are consistent.
