[svn-r26741] Description:

    Per user Jason Newton request, the following constructor is added:
        H5File(hid_t existing_id);
    Also, fixed H5File::openFile to close current file first before re-using
    the object.
Platforms tested:
    Linux/64 (platypus)
    Linux/32 2.6 (jam)
    SunOS 5.11 (emu)
