[svn-r17466] " Use strict equality as default

"   Use "--use-system-epsilon" for system EPSILON
"   Use "-p" or "-d" for whatever user's choice of epsilon
"   Use "-p 0" or "-d 0" for strict equality (same as default)

-  D - is a positive number. Compare criteria is |a - b| > D
-  R - is a positive number. Compare criteria is |(b-a)/a| > R
-
- Modes of output:
-
-  Default mode: print the number of differences found and where they occured
-  -r Report mode: print the above plus the differences
-  -v Verbose mode: print the above plus a list of objects and warnings
-  -q Quiet mode: do not print output
-
- Compare criteria
-
- If no objects [obj1[obj2]] are specified, h5diff only compares objects
-   with the same absolute path in both files
-
- The compare criteria is:
-   1) datasets: numerical array differences 2) groups: name string difference
-   3) datatypes: the return value of H5Tequal 4) links: name string difference
-   of the linked value
-
- Return exit code:
-
-  1 if differences found, 0 if no differences, 2 if error
-
- Examples of use:
-
- 1) h5diff file1 file2 /g1/dset1 /g1/dset2
-
-    Compares object '/g1/dset1' in file1 with '/g1/dset2' in file2
-
- 2) h5diff file1 file2 /g1/dset1
-
-    Compares object '/g1/dset1' in both files
-
- 3) h5diff file1 file2
-
-    Compares all objects in both files
-
- Note)  file1 and file2 can be the same file. Use
-
-    h5diff file1 file1 /g1/dset1 /g1/dset2
-
-    to compare '/g1/dset1' and '/g1/dset2' in the same file
-
+dataset: </g1/dset3> and </g1/dset4>
