I don't think this is documented extensively, but you can always have a look 
at existing wrappers.  Here it is one example for Blosc:

http://blosc.pytables.org/trac/browser/trunk/hdf5/blosc_filter.c

and here for LZO and bzip2:

http://www.pytables.org/trac/browser/trunk/src/H5Zlzo.c
http://www.pytables.org/trac/browser/trunk/src/H5Zbzip2.c

all three are registered by THG, so you can use them as-is and don't be afraid 
that their IDs would be overwritten by other filters in the future.
