[svn-r10970] Purpose: New feature/bug #350 fix
Description: When compiler flag was used to set the size of Fortran integer to 8 bytes, library would fail. Solution: Cleaned up the code; added detection of Fortran INTEGER type size and appropriately defined int_f type for C-stubs routines. Platforms tested: Solaris 2.8 32 and 64-bit, AIX 5.1 64-bit parallel PGI Fortran with -i8 flag on heping Absoft Fortran with -i8 flag on heping g95 on mir (Fortran integer is 8 bytes by default that cannot be changed - compiler bug ;-) AIX Fortran with -qintsize=8 32 and 64-bit modes on copper Misc. update:

- h5dwrite/read_f and h5awrite/read_f functions only accept dims parameter
of the type INTEGER(HSIZE_T).
+ - added support for native integers of 8 bytes (i.e. when special
+ compiler flag is specified to set native fortran integers to 8 bytes,
+ for example, -i8 flag for PGI and Absoft Fortran compilers,
+ -qintsize=8 flag for IBM xlf compiler).
