[svn-r14850] Purpose: Fixed bugs
Description: - Revised Attribute::write and Attribute::read wrappers to handle memory allocation/deallocation properly. (bugzilla 1045) - Changed free() to H5Dfree(), also needed H5private.h - Corrected quite a few typos in documenting! Platforms tested: SunOS 5.10 (linew) Linux 2.6 (kagiso) FreeBSD (duty) - there was something wrong in the C tests for makecheck hung quite a long time; I went ahead with makecheck just in c++ dir, since the changes didn't effect the C tests. I'll keep an eye on the tests tonight...
