[svn-r12437] Purpose:

new feature. h5dump output of binary data

Description:
a new switch -b FILE_NAME that dumps the contents of memory data to file FILE_NAME in binary form

new program binread.c that reads the contents of this file and outputs it to stdout

added a test for the h5dump shell script that does a run of -b
the binread.c program reads the data used in this run, usage is ./binread FILE_NAME


Solution:

Platforms tested:
linux
solaris
AIX
