Hi Cyril,

I've implemented a *very* preliminary version of links.  You can download the 
branch with something like:

$ svn co http://www.pytables.org/svn/pytables/branches/links

The new methods for creating links are:

    File.createHardLink(where, name, target, createparents=False)
    File.createSoftLink(where, name, target, createparents=False)
    File.createExternalLink(where, name, target, createparents=False)

but existing links in already created HDF5 files should open well too.  I've 
to update user's manual yet, but docstrings in code should be fairly complete.  

BTW, the ``links`` branch should work only with HDF5 1.8.x series (I still 
have to see how to backport this to HDF5 1.6.x).  If you want to have a look 
at the implementation, look at:

http://pytables.org/trac/log/branches/links

Please tell me if you experience some problem or have suggestions.

Cheers,

--
