[svn-r193] Changes since 19980128

----------------------

./MANIFEST
	Added new config files.

./src/H5private.h
	Changed FUNC_ENTER() so it calls H5Eclear() for all API
	functions but not for any private functions.  It also prints
	the names of all API functions on file 55 (just for the
	prototype) so we can get a list of API functions called with
	the Bourne shell commands like:

		./testhdf5 55>api_list		or
		./testhdf5 55>&1 1>/dev/null 2>&1 | less

	Otherwise the names are silently discarded.

./src/H5.c
./src/H5C.c
./src/H5D.c
./src/H5F.c
./src/H5G.c
./src/H5M.c
./src/H5P.c
./src/H5T.c
	Removed `H5ECLEAR' from lots of places in the source code.

./src/H5E.c
./src/H5Eprivate.h
	Recursion is a problem here, so to disable a call to
	H5Eclear() from FUNC_ENTER just define a local variable like
	this before you call FUNC_ENTER:

	     const H5E_clearable_g = FALSE;

	Unfortunately this results in a warning: declaration of
	`H5E_clearable_g' shadows global declaration.  Good thing it's
	only used in two places.
