* read/write call variants for different datatypes
* HDF5 properties tuned for lustre filesystems and the Cray XT (enabled using flags passed during file open)
* HDF5 chunking for field data
* HDF5 alignment (set during file open)
* support for both HDF5 1.6 and 1.8 using #if statements
* a new error reporting level: debug_detail (HDF5 errors are now printed at debug level 1 by default)
These changes have undergone limited testing.
I will begin using this version for my H5Part projects so that I can test it more thoroughly.
