[svn-r4232] Purpose:

    Bug fix.
Description:
    On some systems (linux when not using gcc) 'dev_t' is not actually
    a scalar variable.  This causes the code which compares dev_t's in
    the file drivers to not compile.  Also the H5_inline flag was not being
    set correctly in the H5private.h file.
Solution:
    Set the H5_inline flag to '' (i.e. define it, but don't assign it a value)
    if it is not currently defined.

    Use DEV_T_IS_SCALAR flag from configure to correctly compare dev_t's using
    memcmp instead of a scalar flag.
Platforms tested:
    FreeBSD 4.3 (hawkwind), Linux 2.4.2 (chiba city cluster at Argonne)
