Library:
--------
+ - H5Tcreate now supports string type (fixed-length and variable-length).
+ (SLU - 2011/05/20)
- Added ability to cache files opened through external links. Added new
public functions H5Pset_elink_file_cache_size(),
H5Pget_elink_file_cache_size(), and H5Fclear_elink_file_cache().
