Subject: [svn-r11939] Purpose: Supports for collective chunk IO inside
 parallel HDF5

Description:
Added a macro hdf5_mpi_special_collective_io_works to filter out
          some mpi-io packages that don't support collective IO for no IO
          contributions in some processes.

Solution:
Using AC_CACHE_VAL to do the job.

Platforms tested:
Parallel:

IBM AIX 5.2(copper)
Linux (heping) mpich-1.2.6
SDSC Teragrid mpich-1.2.5
Linux(Tungsten) mpich-1.2.6
Altix(NCSA cobalt)

Seq:
Linux(heping)
