 NAME
    H5P__decode
 PURPOSE
    Internal routine to decode a property list from a binary buffer.
 USAGE
    H5P_genplist_t *H5P__decode(buf)
        const void *buf;    IN: buffer that holds the encoded plist
 RETURNS
    Returns non-negative ID of new property list object on success, negative
        on failure.
 DESCRIPTION
     Decodes a property list from a binary buffer. The contents of the buffer
     contain the values for the correponding properties of the plist. The decode 
     callback of a certain property decodes its value from the buffer and sets it
     in the property list.
 GLOBAL VARIABLES
 COMMENTS, BUGS, ASSUMPTIONS
     Properties in the property list that are not encoded in the serialized
     form retain their default value.
