[svn-r16802] Purpose: Fix bug 1516
Description: h5repack previously would not take named datatypes into consideration when copying datasets and attributes. This would cause extra anonymous datatypes in the target file at best, and cause errors halfway through the repacking at worst. h5repack should now always handle named datatypes correctly. Named datatypes are also now converted to the native type when -n is given. Tested: jam, linew, smirom (h5committest)

+ - Fixed many problems that could occur when using h5repack with named

that have a datatype datum size greater than H5TOOLS_BUFSIZE, a
constant defined as 1024Kb, such as array types with large
