+ * Added MPI-posix VFL driver. This VFL driver uses MPI functions to

+ (i.e. open/close/read/write/etc.) calls. This driver should _NOT_
+ be used to access files that are not on a parallel filesystem.
+ The following API functions were added:
+ herr_t H5Pset_fapl_mpiposix(hid_t fapl_id, MPI_Comm comm);
+ herr_t H5Pget_fapl_mpiposix(hid_t fapl_id, MPI_Comm *comm/*out*/);

* Added environment variable flag to control whether creating MPI derived
