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".

Backward Compatibility Fix
Description:
One of H5P[gs]et_sym_k's parameters changed between v1.4 and the development
branch.
Solution:
Added v1.4 compat stuff around H5P[gs]et_sym_k implementation and testing
to allow v1.4.x users to continue to use their source code without
modification.
These changes are for everything except the FORTRAN wrappers - I spoke with
Elena and she will make the FORTRAN wrapper changes.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.4 (hawkwind)
Purpose:
CppUserNotes.pdf
CppUserNotes.doc (not for distribution)
CppInterfaces.html
New C++ API documents -- "HDF5 C++ User's Notes"
and "HDF5 C++ Interfaces"
Platforms tested:
