Configuration:
-------------
+ - Incorporated HDF5 examples repository into HDF5 library.
+
+ The HDF5Examples folder is equivalent to the repository hdf5-examples.
+ As such it can build and test the examples during library build or after
+ the library is installed. Previously, the hdf5-repository archives were
+ downloaded for packaging with the library. Now the examples can be built
+ and tested without a packaged install of the library.
+
+ However to maintain the ability to use the HDF5Examples with an installed
+ library, it is necessary to translate or synch the option names from those
+ used by the library to those used by the examples. The typical pattern is:
+ <example option> = <library option>
+ HDF_BUILD_FORTRAN = ${HDF5_BUILD_FORTRAN}
