Support for parallel HDF5

[ShailChoksi]

Do you plan to add support for parallel HDF5?

I am looking to build an R package which would benefit from reading/writing in parallel and was hoping to use this package.

e.g. using the --enable-threadsafe or --enable-parallel flags when compiling the HDF5 library

Or is this already supported and I missed where/how to use it?
