`format_source` | Runs `clang-format` over the source files, applying our rules
`genparser` | Creates the flex/bison-based parser files in the high-level library
`h5cc.in` | Input file from which h5cc is created
`h5redeploy.in` | Input file from which h5redeploy is created
`h5vers` | Updates the library version number
`make_err` | Generates the H5E header files
`make_vers` | Generates H5version.h
`make_overflow` | Generates H5overflow.h
`output_filter` | Used in the tools test code to strip extraneous output before we diff files

# TODO

- chkcopyright is currently semi-broken as it doesn't handle the full variety of copyright headers we need. We're leaving it in place, though, in the hopes that someone will update it in the future.
- Extending warnhist to better understand the output of additional compilers/languages would be nice.
