Configuration
-------------
- -
- - Autotools: An export of LD_LIBRARY_PATH=<szip library location> was
- removed from configure and make installcheck was revised to run
- scripts installed in share/hdf5_examples to use the installed h5cc, etc.
- to compile and run example source files also installed there. Make
- installcheck will now fail when a shared szip or other external lib file
- cannot be found in the same manner that executables compiled and linked
- with h5cc will fail to run when those lib files cannot be found after
- install. Make installcheck should pass after setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH to the
- szip location.

Library
-------
- - Removal of DllMain() from static Windows builds.
- A DllMain() function was added in HDF5 1.8.13 in order to handle win32 thread
- cleanup. The preprocessor #ifdefs around the DllMain function allowed it
- to be compiled when the static library is built, which is incorrect behavior
- and can cause linkage problems in clients.
- The fix was to change the preprocessor #ifdefs to exclude compiling DllMain()
- in static builds. Our DllMain function is now only compiled when the shared,
- thread-safe library is built on Windows.

- - Enforce constraing on page_size parameter in
- H5Pset_core_write_tracking().
- The reference manual states that the page_size parameter cannot be zero.
- This change checks the page_size parameter to ensure it is zero and returns
- an error code if it is.
