[Users] hdf5 output for testsuites

[Yosef Zlochower]

I was thinking about how to generate better testsuite for
the CCE code, in particular, SphericalHarmonicDecomp thorn. The
code generates an hdf5 file with coefficients for a
Chebyshev/spherical harmonic expansions of the metric
functions. Ideally, I would like to test that this hdf5
has the correct data. I could have the thorn also produce
ascii output, but it seems to be a stronger test to
examine the hdf5 file itself. Would it be possible to
do this as an extension to the testsuite mechanism?

It seems like the h5diff (with the -d or -p option) program
could be used for the comparison itself.
