[svn-r985] Checking in changes from "HDF5 Release 1.0" CVS branch that have not yet

been checked into "HDF5 Development" branch.

General
=======
	Various "copy edit" types of repairs.
	Revisions to document cross-linking.
	Added structural links tying all docs together (banners
	   at top and bottom of documents, similar to Reference Manual
	   banners of the Beta release).
	Set background color to white in all documents.

NCSAfooterlogo.gif
hdf2.jpg
	New image files to make the documents more self-contained
	(i.e., to prevent loading images from NCSA and HDF home servers).

index.html
	Redesigned to isolate links external to the installation
	in a single location.


Intro to HDF5
=============
H5.intro.html
	Fixed banner linking Intro to other docs.
	Set all URLs to be relative within the distribution; nothing
	   points back to the HDF server.
	Updates to "Limits of the Current Release" and "Changes in
	   the Current Release."


HDF5 User's Guide
=================
	Changed several User Guide section titles such that all
	   sections that are primarily about a particular interface
	   are now titled in the format "The xxxxx Interface (H5x)".

H5.user.html
	Commented out links to developer docs since they are marked
	   in MANIFEST as not being for distribution in the release.
	Removed 2nd and 3rd indices from page.
	Changed "freeform" lists of sections (TOCs) to aligned tables.

Datatypes.html
	Removed the sentence "I'm deferring definition until later
	   since they're probably not as important as the other data
	   types." from Section 3.3, "Properties of Date and Time
	   Atomic Types."
	Added info regarding 'char' versus 'string' datatypes.  Added
	   as Section 3.7, "Character and String Datatype Issues."

References.html
	Commented out substantial material (at end of document) from
	   References planning document that is not appropriate for
 	   the User Guide but that is worth keeping around.

Groups.html
	Final edits from elimination of "current working group."


HDF5 Reference Manual
=====================
	Removed "Draft" from the <title>__</title> lines.

RM_H5Front.html
	Removed 2nd and 3rd indices from page.
	Changed "freeform" lists of sections (TOCs) to aligned tables.

RM_H5F.html
RM_H5P.html
	Add file mounting information.
