Added H5Pset/get_data_transform
These are initial entries; they need technical review.
Removed several deprecated functions that have been commented out
through several release cycles (H5Pget_deflate and
H5Pset/get_compression) and several lines of no-longer-used
template code.
Minor formatting changes.

Bug Fix/Code Cleanup/Doc Cleanup/Optimization/Branch Sync :-)
Description:
Generally speaking, this is the "signed->unsigned" change to selections.
However, in the process of merging code back, things got stickier and stickier
until I ended up doing a big "sync the two branches up" operation. So... I
brought back all the "infrastructure" fixes from the development branch to the
release branch (which I think were actually making some improvement in
performance) as well as fixed several bugs which had been fixed in one branch,
but not the other.
I've also tagged the repository before making this checkin with the label
"before_signed_unsigned_changes".

H5Pget_fclose_degree -- Correct parameter description.
(Contribute to closing Bugzilla entries 188 and 190.)

Other minor formatting and copy edits.
Platforms tested:
Mozilla
Purpose: Maintenance
Description: H5_SZIP_CHIP_OPTION_MASK was deleted from the list
of the available parameters for the H5Pset_szip function.
Solution: Updated Fortran source, tests and documentation
to reflect this change.
Platforms tested: arabica (too small for h5committest)
Misc. update:
Purpose:
To more carefully describe the
-- behavior of H5Pset_external
-- appropriate usage of H5Pset_shuffle
Description:
H5Pset_external
Add notes that first H5Pset_external call sets the dataset as EXTERNAL
and identifies the first file in the series of external files that
will hold the dataset; subsequent calls identify additional files;
all external files must be declared before the dataset is created;
and the library will create files that don't yet exist on the system
at the time that H5Dwrite is called to write data to that file.
H5Pset_shuffle
Added notes regarding usage of H5Pset_shuffle in concert with a
compression filter.
And, as always, a few copy edits.
Purpose:
Bugfix: Bugzilla #66
Solution:
H5Pset_szip -- Corrected the plist parameter description.
Since this property can be set only in the dataset
creation property list, changed the parameter description
from
Dataset creation or dataset transfer property list identifier.
to
Dataset creation property list identifier.
Fixes Bugzilla bug #66.
Platforms tested:

Purpose:
Clean up RM formatting.
Modify RM HTML code to facilitate automated generation of PDF version.

Description:
Solution:
Platforms tested:
linux
Misc. update:
Code cleanup
Description:
Add C++ and FORTRAN wrappers for new H5Pdelete_filter routine, along with
documentation and a note in the release notes.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.9 (sleipnir)
Linux 2.4 (verbena) w/ C++ and FORTRAN
Too minor for full h5committest
Bug fix
Description:
When two property lists are compared, the H5Pequal routine was just
comparing the raw information for the property values. This causes problems
when the raw information contains pointers to other information.
Solution:
Allow a 'compare' callback to be registered for properties, so that a user
application get perform the comparison itself, allowing for "deep" compares of
the property value.
This was exported to the H5Pregister & H5Pinsert routines in the development
branch, but not the release branch.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.9 (sleipnir)
