[svn-r11054] Purpose: Bug fix.
Description: There was a bug in the calculating code of the Fletcher32
checksum in the library before v1.6.3. The checksum value wasn't consistent
between big-endian and little-endian systems. This bug was fixed in
Release 1.6.3. However, after fixing the bug, the checksum value is no
longer the same as before on little-endian system.
Solution: Made the library compare both the correct checksum and incorrect
checksum generated from v1.6.2 or before. This makes the library be
backward compatible but not forward compatible.
Platforms tested: h5committest and fuss.
Misc. update: Documented the forward incompatibility problem in the
Known Problem section in RELEASE.txt
