- H5Tget_member_value calls for enum datatype didn't return correct

- For variable-length string, H5Tget_class returned H5T_STRING as its
class. But H5Tdetect_class and H5Tget_member_class considered it
as H5T_VLEN. This is fixed to let all these 3 functions treat it
as H5T_STRING. SLU - 2005/02/08
- The byte order of 1-byte integer types was fixed as little endian

* PGI C++ compiler fails when compiling the C++ library's tests.
Therefore, we cannot verify that the C++ library built with the PGI C++
compiler is correct.
* The C++ library's tests fails when compiling with PGI C++ compiler. The
workaround until the problem is correctly handled is to use the
flag "--instantiate=local" prior to the configure and build steps, as:
setenv CXX "pgCC --instantiate=local" for pgCC 5.02 and higher
setenv CXX "pgCC -tlocal" for others
