Improvement to post processing #23

We really need the facility to collapse down the inventory data at the end of the calculation into single file, for example take the voxel wise data and map this back into a file, thus listing the inventory by region.

I have a variety of thoughts on the best way to do this. HDF5 output of inventory data is on the list for @klebenowm. Given the nature of the data, I am not sure there is a good data model that will lend it self to tagging the H5M file directly, but could be convinced.

I've had some brief conversations with Tim Tautges about an interesting related option: Since the H5M file is just an HDF5 file anyway, we can use some other part of the same file to store inventory data in a well designed format, and then use tags to point to where that data is stored. This would require a proprietary interface, for an extended H5M format (perhaps, H5Mi for H5M with inventory data).

Or we can devise a way to use tags....

@makeclean: Do you have a particular use case in mind?
