* Removed limitation that the data transfer buffer size needed to be
set for datasets whose dimensions were too large for the 'all' selection
code to handle. Any size dimensioned datasets should be handled
correctly now.
* Changed behavior of H5Tget_member_type to correctly emulate HDF5 v1.2.x
when --enable-hdf5v1_2 configure flag is enabled.
* Tweaked a few API functions to use 'size_t' instead of 'unsigned' or
'hsize_t', which may cause errors in some cases.
