[NeXus-tech] h5ToText.py

[Pete R. Jemian]

This program writes the content and structure of an HDF5 file to stdout. 
  The format is formatted to best reveal the structure (where things are 
stored).  It abbreviates large data arrays.  There is an option to 
specify how much of an array is displayed and it is possible to print no 
array data at all.

Here is a test run on the attached example2.hdf5 file
