In rhdf5: R Interface to HDF5

## Collection of tests that have been written with the expectation that they 
## work or produce useful error messages, but at the moment are not handled
## in a graceful fashion.  Updating the the package code to get these to pass
## is not a priority, but will improve the user experience IMHO
