--------------------------+-------------------------------------------------
 NXgroupinfo returns the group name for HDF4 and XML, but the group path
 for HDF5.  The documentation for NXgroupinfo says it should return the
 name.  There is no alternative mechanism for returning the path.

 Either change the docs, HDF4 and XML so that NXgroupinfo returns the path
 or create a new function NXgetpath which returns the path.

 The current python binding needs to know the path in order to support
 scanning through the entries in a group.
