 *
 * Note:	This routine is called from H5S_mpio_space_type(), which is
 *              called first for the file dataspace and creates
 *
 * 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)
 *		*is_derived_type  0 if MPI primitive type, 1 if derived
