Robb Matzke 1b1be9918c [svn-r627] Changes since 19980827
----------------------

./src/H5G.c
	Fixed a link count on groups.  Groups were always created with
	a link count of zero instead of one.

./src/H5Gpublic.h
	Added H5G_NTYPES so applications can easily declare arrays
	which are indexed by object type.

./src/H5O.c
	Calling `H5O_link(&ent,0)' will succeed when the file is open
	for read only because it's the only way to get the object's
	current link count.

./tools/h5ls.c
	Can take non-group object names on the command line (and
	multiple objects).  Reorganized to be more extendible. The
	link count is displayed for `-v'.

./src/H5F.c
	Dumping of cache statistics is controlled by only the
	HDF5_DEBUG environment variable and not the H5F_ACC_DEBUG flag
	for H5Fopen() and H5Fcreate() since this makes it similar to
	the other debugging options.

./src/H5R.c
./test/ragged.c
./test/Makefile.in
	Tests pass but still a little work left to be done.
