e6b818134e [svn-r13497] Description:
Move ref. count of # of links to an object out of the object header's
prefix and make it a header message instead (since it's a "rare" occurence),
eliminating some more space for each object in the file.

        Inserting this "ref. count" message exposed a flaw in the library's
mechanism for locating a message to promote to another chunk and replace
with a continuation message, which required some additional work to fix.
It's still not completely robust, but it's working for more cases now and
detects failures robustly.

        Reduced the minimum size of an object header chunk to just enough to
contain a header message prefix and continuation message.

bb392083b2 [svn-r13297] Description:
Add small 'h5mkgrp' tool to create groups in an HDF5 file from the command
line, allowing the group structure for a file to be created in a script.  This
tool closely follows the 'mkdir' command line tool in UNIX/Linux.

    Allow tool library applications to pass a FAPL to the h5tool_fopen() call,
giving some additional flexibility to tools which are adding objects to an
existing HDF5 file (like h5copy & h5mkgrp).

    Fix missing files in MANIFEST from previous checkin(s).

Tested on:
    Linux/32 2.6 (chicago)
    Linux/64 2.6 (chicago2)
