Purpose:
Changed "HDF5 User's Guide" links (in navigation bars, primarily)
to point to new user's guide, which will reside for a while yet on
the HDF server.
The old user's guide will still go out with the distribution under
the label "HDF5 User's Guide, Release 1.4.5."

Misc. update:
Updated all docs for this change.
Added 1.4 compatibility #ifdef's
Purpose:

stylesheets and DW libraries.
Stylesheets -- for consistent format management.
DW libraries -- for managing common elements across documents.
Platforms tested:
IE 5 and 6
Netscape
Purpose:
Extracting RELEASE and HISTORY from Changes.html and distributing
them as separate files will not only leave Changes.html easier to
read, but will ease maintenance.
Solution:
Removed the RELEASE and HISTORY files' contents from Changes.html,
inserting links instead.
Changes.html now points to RELEASE.txt and HISTORY.txt, duplicates
of hdf5/RELEASE and hdf5/HISTORY. These two files will
henceforth be distributed within the doc set so that this
information can be available to applications developers who
cannot access the HDF website (e.g., due to a firewall) and
are working without the HDF5 source code.
Affected files: hdf5/doc/html/ADGuide/Changes.html
hdf5/doc/html/ADGuide/RELEASE.txt
hdf5/doc/html/ADGuide/HISTORY.txt
Platforms tested:
IE 5
Purpose:
