Known Problems
==============
+* All the VFL drivers aren't backward compatible. In H5FDpublic.h, the
+ structure H5FD_class_t changed in 1.8. There is new parameter added to
+ get_eoa and set_eoa callback functions. A new callback function
+ get_type_map was added in. The public function H5FDrealloc was taken
+ out in 1.8. The problem only happens when users define their own driver
+ for 1.6 and try to plug in 1.8 library. Because there's only one user
+ complaining about it, we (Elena, Quincey, and I) decided to leave it as
+ it is (see bug report #1279). Quincey will make a plan for 1.10.

* MinGW has a missing libstdc++.dll.a library file and will not successfully link
C++ applications/tests. Do not use the enable-cxx configure option. Read all of
the INSTALL_MINGW.txt file for all restrictions. ADB - 2009/11/11
