New documentations for Windows support. Description: Three documentations: 1. INSTALL_Windows.txt has been largely modified to prepare for 1.6.3 release. 2. INSTALL_Windows_Short.txt has been added to provide for users a quick and easy building, testing, and installing HDF5 products on Windows. 3. INSTALL_Windows_From_Command_Line.txt has been added to provide for users who would like to build HDF5 through command line on Windows. Correspondingly, INSTALL_Windows_withcpp.txt and INSTALL_Windows_withf90.txt will be depreciated in the future since the new INSTALL_Windows.txt includes the instruction to build, test, and install HDF5 products with C++ and Fortran APIs. Solution: Platforms tested: No need. Misc. update:
HDF5 version 1.6.3-snap5 currently under development
Please refer to the release_docs/INSTALL file for installation instructions.

This release is almost fully functional for the entire API defined in the
documentation, see the RELEASE.txt file in this directory for information
specific to this release of the library. The INSTALL file contains
instructions on compiling and installing the library. The INSTALL_parallel
file contains instructions on installing the parallel version of the
library. The INSTALL* files can be found in the release_docs/ directory.
Documentation for this release is in the html directory. Start with the
"index.html" in that directory.
Four mailing lists are currently set up for use with the HDF5
library.
hdf5 - For general discussion of the HDF5 library with
other users.
hdf5dev - For discussion of the HDF5 library development
with developers and other interested parties.
hdf5announce - For announcements of HDF5 related developments,
not a discussion list.
hdf5cvs - For checkin notices of code development on the library,
not a discussion list.
To subscribe to a list, send mail to "majordomo@ncsa.uiuc.edu",
with "subscribe <list>" in the _body_, not the Subject, of the message.
E.g., subscribe hdf5
Messages to be sent to the list should be sent to "<list>@ncsa.uiuc.edu".
Nearly daily code snapshots are now being provided at the following URL:
