[svn-r11737] Purpose:
Bug fix Description: Before this checkin, 'gmake check-s' would fail if there was a file in the current directory named 'check-s'. This is fixed under gmake (not sure how to fix for other makes). Solution: check, progs, install, etc. are what gmake calls "phony" targets, which means that no file should be created. These targets can be specified by a line of the form .PHONY: check progs install ... Automake adds this line for targets it knows about, but HDF5 has a lot of custom rules. This checkin adds a .PHONY line for those rules. I believe that only gmake recognizes the .PHONY line (at least, pmake doesn't seem to), but a partial solution is better than none. This error should occur very rarely anyway (the user has to manually create files with names like 'build-check-s' or '_test'). Platforms tested: mir, sleipnir, modi4
