[svn-r5585] Purpose:
Bug Fix Description: H5Dcreate and H5Tcommit allow "empty" compound and enumerated types (i.e. ones with no members) to be stored in the file, but this causes an assertion failure and is somewhat vapid. Solution: Check the datatype "makes sense" before using it for H5Dcreate and H5Tcommit. Platforms tested: FreeBSD 4.5 (sleipnir)
