Description:
1) configure now sets LD_LIBRARY_PATH before checking for presence of
SZIP encoder, so user does not need to set this. The path is then
saved and sent to Makefiles, and used when "make check-install" is
invoked, so user doesn't need to set this manually.
2) Upgraded libtool to version 2.2.6a
3) Rearranged tools build order as h5dump depends on existence of h5diff
and h5import. Since h5dump is a sister directory as opposed to a parent
of either, it doesn't know about the build rules of these tools, so
setting any sort of explicit dependency confuses automake as it won't
know how to build the tools. Instead, setting CONFIG = ordered forces
an in-order traversal of each tools subdirectory. (without it will also
traverse in order by default, but this should prevent gmake's -j option
from jumping ahead as well). 'make check install' should now be able to
be invoked after 'configure' without causing a dependency failure.
4) Removed H5_HAVE_LARGE_HSIZET macro from vms/src/h5pubconf.h, as this macro
has now been out of the code for some time. (vms pubconf needs to be
updated manually, which is why it was still hanging around).
Tested: kagiso, smirom, liberty
Note: h5diff looks to be causing failures in h5copy and h5dump tools tests,
though these were present before any of my changes. My changes only
affect build order and configuration setup, and shouldn't prevent
fixes for these failures coming in after this checkin. Other than these,
tests pass fine.
it uses the API function H5Gcopy to copy groups and datasets from file
to file, read from a command line

tested on heping, copper, shanti
Moved gif2h5 tool to hl directory
Description:
Added a tools directory under the hl directory and moved the gif2h5 tool
to that directory.
Solution:
The gif2h5 tool was originally built in the tools directory, but this
introduced dependency issues that required special checks in the
Makefiles.am and required the top-level build order to be changed
because it depended on the HL library.
For simplicity in the Makefiles now and in the future, the gif2h5 tool
was moved to be underneath the hl library.
Platforms tested:
mir, copper, modi4, shanti
Bug fix
Description:
pmake (on modi4, for instance) complains about undefined variables
if it is run without the -V flag, which turns those errors to warnings.
Solution:
Added test to configure.in to see if $MAKE will allow Makefiles
with undefined variables. If not, sets -V flag in AM_MAKEFLAGS.
Ensured that all custom make targets use AM_MAKEFLAGS.
Also defined all variables that caused errors in top-level Makefile.am.
This means that pmake can be used to build hdf5 *from the top level
only*. To run make from a subdirectory, still need to use -V flag
(or use make or gmake).
Platforms tested:
modi4, heping, copper, sleipnir
Configuration feature
Description:
HDF5 now uses automake to generate Makefiles
Solution:
Makefile.in files are now generated from Makefile.am files.
To reconfigure (after chaning a Makefile.am or configure.in):
/bin/sh bin/reconfigure.sh
Platforms tested:
Many
