the $srcdir properly. It is not right to chdir into testfiles and write
files there because in real srcdir mode, one should not changes things
in the srcdir area which could be shared by multiple builds simultanteously.
Solution: added the proper $srcdir components to the source file name.
Also clean up the indentation by cb.
Tested: only by hand in heping.
bug fix
calling h5tools_get_fapl running the mpio driver caused H5FD_pl_copy to
fail silently in some conditions. a MPI call was made before MPI_Init.
solution: corrected the MPI call to be made after MPI_Init and added error return
conditions to H5FD_pl_copy and h5tools_get_fapl
tested on copper parallel, mir, shanti
it uses the API function H5Gcopy to copy groups and datasets from file
to file, read from a command line
note: the test script is not finished yet
tested on heping, copper, shanti
