HDF5/PyTables conversion, support for different compressors via latest
release of Blosc, and a new `iterblocks()` iterator.

Also, intensive benchmarking has lead to an important tuning of buffer
sizes parameters so that compression and evaluation goes faster than
ever. Together, bcolz and the Blosc compressor, are finally fullfilling
the promise of accelerating memory I/O, at least for some real
scenarios:
