Update to HDF5 1.8.9
This doesn't pass self-tests, but it isn't regression,
previous package didn't pass them as well.
(While here, make both packages share the same distinfo.)


Changes in HDF5 1.8.9

HDF5 1.8.9 is a minor release, but contains several important
new features and bug fixes. Changes in this release include the
following:

  * Committed datatypes can now be merged when copying objects,
    using the new flag H5O_COPY_MERGE_COMMITTED_DTYPE_FLAG.
    Several new API routines have been included in support of
    this feature.

  * A file in memory can now be accessed in the same way as a
    file on disk. New APIs were added to support this feature.

  * Many changes to the tools have been made, including the following:

      + The h5repack performance has been improved dramatically
        for large chunked datasets.

      + The -S (or --summary) option was added to h5stat to
        display a summary of the file space usage for a file.

      + A wildcard can now be used with h5dump to specify multiple files.

  * H5LTpath_valid was added to determine if a path is correct
    and a link resolves to a valid object.

  * The Fortran counterpart to H5Ocopy, h5ocopy_f, was added.

This release contains many other changes and bug fixes not listed here.
Please be sure to read the Release Notes for a comprehensive
list of new features and bug fixes.



Changes in HDF5 1.8.8

HDF5 1.8.8 is a minor release, but contains a few important new
features and bug fixes. Changes in this release include the
following:

  * Changes to the Fortran interface:
      + Fortran wrappers for the Dimension Scales APIs were added.
        For the new subroutine signatures, see:

           http://www.hdfgroup.org/HDF5/doc/HL/RM_H5DS.html

      + The Fortran interface now uses the Fortran 2003 standard,
        enabling a wider set of Fortran and HDF5 datatypes to be
        supported, including:

          o Any kind of INTEGER or REAL
          o Fortran derived types
          o Fortran and HDF5 enumeration
          o HDF5 variable-length datatypes
          o HDF5 compound datatypes of any complexity

        It also contains new subroutines corresponding to those
        C APIs which have callback functions as parameters.
	For a general overview and information on how to enable
        these new Fortran features, please see the following paper:

           http://www.hdfgroup.org/HDF5/doc/fortran/NewFeatures_F2003.pdf

        HDF5 examples that use Fortran 2003 (with the suffix "F03") can be found here:

           http://www.hdfgroup.org/ftp/HDF5/examples/examples-by-api/api18-fortran.html

        The --enable-fortran2003 configure flag was added to
        enable Fortran 2003 support in the HDF5 Fortran library.
        This flag should be used along with the --enable-fortran
        flag and takes affect only when a Fortran compiler is
        Fortran 2003 compliant.

  * H5Tcreate now supports a string type (fixed-length and variable-length).

  * New APIs, H5Pget_mpio_actual_chunk_opt_mode and H5Pget_mpio_actual_io_mode,
    were added for querying whether/how a collective I/O operation completed.

  * Numerous changes were made to the tools (h5diff, h5repack, h5jam, h5dump).
