Added FlexIO documentation in HTML format.
Taken from the (almost forgotten) repository /afs/aei/cvsroot/IEEEIO/doc. Should be the same as on http://zeus.ncsa.uiuc.edu/~jshalf/FlexIO/. git-svn-id: http://svn.cactuscode.org/arrangements/CactusExternal/FlexIO/trunk@50 21a6bef8-4479-4f54-8f8d-0db94a2919ef

+ <h1>Introduction</h1>
+ IEEEIO is a compact library for storing multidimensional
+ scientific data in a binary format that can be transported
+ between different computer systems. It derives its name from the
+ fact that it depends on the
+ <a href="http://standards.ieee.org/catalog/it.html#gen184">IEEE
+ 754</a>
+ standard representations
+ for floating point numbers to achieve its portability. It
+ provides many of the capabilities of the
+ <a href="http://hdf.ncsa.uiuc.edu">HDF-SDS</a> and NetCDF
+ file formats however it is much smaller and simpler than
+ either. In addition, it is <a href="Performance.html">
+ reasonably fast</a> when compared
+ to raw f77 unformatted IO.
+
+ The programming interface allows complete
+ interoperability with the HDF and NetCDF formats if those
+ libraries are linked in. It is not intended to supercede these
+ formats. It is designed to replace them only where the extra
+ functionality and consequent size of these libraries is not
+ desired.<p>
