release of PnetCDF 1.8.1

[Wei-keng Liao]

Hello to the PnetCDF community,

The release of Parallel-netCDF 1.8.1 is now available from
http://cucis.ece.northwestern.edu/projects/PnetCDF/download.html

This release is mainly for fixing the following bug.

  o Bug fixes:
    * Fortran parameters NF_MAX_DIMS, NF_MAX_ATTRS, NF_MAX_VARS, and NF_MAX_NAME
      defined in the Fortran header file, pnetcdf.inc, were set to obsolete
      values and have been fixed in this release to conform with their
      corresponding C constants. Because these four parameters were not used
      by PnetCDF internally, the end users can safely skip this release and
      1.8.1 should perform the same as 1.8.0. If your programs explicitly use
      these four parameters, then updating to 1.8.1 is recommended.

  o Other updates:
    * To conform with GNU Coding Standards, the installation location for man
      pages are changed to ${prefix}/share/man.
    * Support of DESTDIR for Building Binary Packages has been added, as
      suggested by sunpoet at FreeBSD.org. Ticket #25
