        hid_t dxpl_id;          IN: DXPL to query
        H5D_dxpl_cache_t *cache;IN/OUT: DXPL cache to fill with values
 RETURNS
    Non-negative on success/Negative on failure.
 DESCRIPTION
    Query all the values from a DXPL that are needed by internal routines
    within the library.
 GLOBAL VARIABLES
 COMMENTS, BUGS, ASSUMPTIONS
    The CACHE pointer should point at already allocated memory to place
    non-default property list info.  If a default property list is used, the
    CACHE pointer will be changed to point at the default information.

 * Function:	H5D__vlen_get_buf_size
 *
 * Purpose:	This routine checks the number of bytes required to store a single
 *      element from a dataset in memory, creating a selection with just the
 *      single element selected to read in the element and using a custom memory
 *      allocator for any VL data encountered.
 *          The *size value is modified according to how many bytes are
 *      required to store the element in memory.
 *
 * Implementation: This routine actually performs the read with a custom
 *      memory manager which basically just counts the bytes requested and
 *      uses a temporary memory buffer (through the H5FL API) to make certain
 *      enough space is available to perform the read.  Then the temporary
 *      buffer is released and the number of bytes allocated is returned.
 *      Kinda kludgy, but easier than the other method of trying to figure out
 *      the sizes without actually reading the data in... - QAK
 *
 * Return:	Non-negative on success, negative on failure
