[svn-r399] Purpose:

    Change in Documentation for the INSTALL process on the ASCI Red

Problem:
    As part of the parallel HDF5 install process, upon compiling the
    library and sequential testers, it is necessary to copy the testers
    onto local disk prior to testing.  This is almost done by steps 9-11)

    ...
    9) cp -r ../hdf5 ../scratch
    10) cd /scratch/hdf5/test
    11) make test >&! test.out

    After the copying to /scratch, when the "make test" is run,
    dependencies are checked and it is determined that the executables
    need to be rebuilt.  Unfortunately, the MPI-IO libraries in
    sasn100:/usr/community/mpi-io are not accessible on ASCI Red, so
    that step #11 above gives an error.

Solution:
    Albert Cheng and Robb Matzke suggested to add the "-p" option in
    step #9, if available, to maintain the original modifications.
    Those install steps were changed to:

    ...
    9) cp -rp ../hdf5 ../scratch
    10) cd /scratch/hdf5/test
    11) make test >&! test.out

    Everything works fine!

Platform tested:
    janus - ASCI Red
    sasn100 - TFLOPS Application server
