Hi all,

I've made good progress on binding the HDF5 file format library.  HDF5 is 
an efficient, self-describing, extensible, binary file format that is 
popular in scientific computing, underlies NetCDF, is used by petabytes of 
data, is supported by tools like Matlab, ...

My bindings are not quite ready for general consumption by the average CL 
user, but they should be quite usable by a CFFI programmer.

The sources are here:
https://gitorious.org/dh-misc/hdf5

Please read the README.txt first.  As always, help would be appreciated, 
and the usual disclaimers of "this software may munge your data" apply.

Later,
Daniel
