I've begun writing a library in c++ with the purpose of easing use of hdf5
in c++ with the stl. The source is available at:

http://github.com/jsharpe/hdf5

My reasons for doing this over the current hdf5 c++ bindings are thus:

   - Lack of support for parallel MPI-IO (not currently implemented but will
   be shortly!)
   - Removal of necessity to construct manually dataspaces / datatypes when
   the C++ type system can do the heavy lifting for you.
   - Lack of support for hyperslabs

I'm interested in seeing what interest there is in helping out developing
this library as it is very much in its infancy and will largely be driven by
my own requirements but want to be able to make it available to others to
use. It is available under the Boost software license and I'd like to see it
in the future either be integrated into the hdfgroup's source tree or the
boost libraries.

I look forward to seeing the interest around this library.
