Binh-Minh Ribler ba6cba5d30 [svn-r3707] Purpose: Bug fixes and code clean up
Description and Solution:

	- Predefined type objects become outdated when the application calls
	H5close and then H5open to use the library again.

	Solution:
	    + Reimplemented PredType using enum type to obtain up-to-date
		values for predefined types, i.e. H5T_xxx_yyy's, when they
		are used.
	    + Added to PredType its own version of getId() to return the
		appropriate predefined type id according to the enum value.
	    + Made IdComponent::getId() a virtual function

	- Since Albert already fixed the "multiply defined RcsId" problem,
	removed the now become unnessary "#undef RCSID" from H5Include.h

	- Added a check for func_name != NULL in one of the Exception
	constructors because seg. fault. might occur in some situations.

	- It is more convenient to make a copy of a datatype, dataspace,
	or property list by using assignment operator

	Solution:
	    + Added assignment operator to DataType, DataSpace, and
		PropList so that they will invoke H5Tcopy, H5Scopy,
		and H5Pcopy, respectively, instead of just simply
		copying the data members as for other classes.  So,
		now a type, space, or property list can be copied by
		either :
			mytype = original_type, or
			mytype.copy(original_type)
		Note that copy constructors are still just copying the
		data members.
	    + Added an assignment operator to DataType that takes a
		predefined type.
	    + Made IdComponent::operator= a virtual function

This is hdf5-1.5.2 currently under development
Please refer to the INSTALL file for installation instructions.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This release is almost fully functional for the entire API defined in the
documentation, see the RELEASE.txt file in this directory for information
specific to this release of the library.  The INSTALL file contains
instructions on compiling and installing the library.  The INSTALL_parallel
file contains instructions on installing the parallel version of the
library.

Documentation for this release is in the html directory.  Start with the
"index.html" in that dictectory.

Four mailing lists are currently set up for use with the HDF5
library.

   hdf5         - For general discussion of the HDF5 library with
		  other users.

   hdf5dev      - For discussion of the HDF5 library development
		  with developers and other interested parties.

   hdf5announce - For announcements of HDF5 related developments,
		  not a discussion list.

   hdf5cvs      - For checkin notices of code development on the library,
		  not a discussion list.

To subscribe to a list, send mail to "majordomo@ncsa.uiuc.edu",
with "subscribe <list>" in the _body_, not the Subject, of the message.
E.g., subscribe hdf5 

Messages to be sent to the list should be sent to "<list>@ncsa.uiuc.edu".

Nearly daily code snapshots are now being provided at the following URL:
    ftp://hdf.ncsa.uiuc.edu/pub/outgoing/hdf5/snapshots
Please read the readme file in that directory before working with a library
snapshot.

The HDF5 website is located at http://hdf.ncsa.uiuc.edu/HDF5/

Bugs should be reported to hdfhelp@ncsa.uiuc.edu.
