[svn-r2843] Purpose:

    New Feature
Description:
    Added array datatype to library.  See documentation at:
        http://hdf.ncsa.uiuc.edu/HDF5/planning/DP/ArrayType.html
    for complete details on the impact to the library.
Solution:
    Changes to the base library include removing the ability of compound
    datatype fields to be an array (they can use an array type for the field,
    to duplicate the functionality) and adding in the new array datatype
    everywhere appropriate. (I hope :-)
Platforms tested:
    FreeBSD 4.1.1 (hawkwind)
