[svn-r437] Changes since 19980612

----------------------

./src/H5Tbit.c
./src/H5Tpkg.h
	Fixed a bug in H5T_bit_copy(). Added H5T_bit_get_d() and
	H5T_bit_set_d() which treat portions of a bit vector as an
	unsigned integer. Added H5T_bit_inc() that increments part of
	a bit vector and returns an indication of overflow.

./src/H5Tconv.c
./src/H5Tpkg.h
./test/dtypes.c
	Added a slow general floating point conversion which works so
	far on Intel, MIPS, and DEC but the test is turned off because
	a cast from double to float will cause a SIGFPE on some
	systems if an overflow occurs.

	Added fast hardware conversions between native floating point
	types.  This function is also subject to the SIGFPE problem.

./src/H5detect.c
	Removed the exponent bias adjustment when the significand
	isn't normalized.  This is now handled in the conversion
	functions instead.

./src/H5T.c
	Register new conversion functions.

	Plugged a memory leak in the library termination code.

./RELEASE
	Added a list of major changes since the first alpha.

./src/H5.c
./src/H5private.h
./src/H5A.c

./src/H5O.c
./src/H5T.c
./src/H5Tbit.c
./src/H5Tconv.c
	Fixed various compiler warnings on Irix64.

./src/H5MM.c
	Added PABLO_MASK to this file.

./test/chunk.c
	Removed a warning about memcpy().
