/*-------------------------------------------------------------------------
 * Function:	H5S_mpio_space_type
 *
 * Purpose:	Translate an HDF5 dataspace selection into an MPI type.
 *		Currently handle only hyperslab and "all" selections.
 *
 * Return:	non-negative on success, negative on failure.
 *
 * Outputs:	*new_type	  the MPI type corresponding to the selection
 *		*count		  how many objects of the new_type in selection
 *				  (useful if this is the buffer type for xfer)
 *		*extra_offset     Number of bytes of offset within dataset
 *		*is_derived_type  0 if MPI primitive type, 1 if derived
 *
 * Programmer:	rky 980813
 *
 * Modifications:
 *
 *      Quincey Koziol, June 18, 2002
 *      Added 'extra_offset' parameter
