[svn-r8038] Purpose:
Bug fix Description: When two property lists are compared, the H5Pequal routine was just comparing the raw information for the property values. This causes problems when the raw information contains pointers to other information. Solution: Allow a 'compare' callback to be registered for properties, so that a user application get perform the comparison itself, allowing for "deep" compares of the property value. This was exported to the H5Pregister & H5Pinsert routines in the development branch, but not the release branch. Platforms tested: FreeBSD 4.9 (sleipnir) h5committest
