[svn-r6795] Purpose:
Feature Add Description: Added knob so that the programmer can enable or disable GPFS hints during runtime instead of having it only enabled at configure/compile time. Some of the public APIs were changed to add an extra parameter for this option... Platforms tested: Blue (LLNL). It only affects the MPI/POSIX driver, so no need to test it on non-GPFS platforms. Misc. update:

New Features
============
+ * Added parameter to the MPI/POSIX driver. If GPFS is enabled (by
+ modifying the H5FDmpiposix.c file to uncomment the USE_GPFS_HINTS
+ macro), then this extra parameter will turn GPFS hints on and off
+ during runtime. BW - 2003/05/05
* Added option to print 1-byte integer datasets as ASCII to h5dump. BW -

* Added a new utility "h5fc". It can be used to compile easily Fortran
