[PVFS-developers] Difference between metaio.c and dmetaio.c

[Rob Ross]

Hi Don,

The d* calls are for dealing with metadata of directories, while the m* 
calls are for dealing with metadata of files.

As an aside, USE_NEW_META_FORMAT is never defined (and that code could 
reasonably be removed to clean things up).
