Description
H5pubconf.h is generated by configure and the conventional wisdom is that it should not be deployed, even with name-mangling (we prefix all symbols with H5_).
When the Autotools go away, H5pubconf.h will be replaced with a private configure file and an H5features.h file, which will include things users need to know about like if parallel HDF5 was enabled. This new header file will be included in hdf5.h (H5pubconf.h was included in H5public.h).
Ideally, users will be unaware of this change.
