#37 tables.isXXXFile problem

[uvemas]

tables.isPyTablesFile(path) and tables.isHDF5File(path)
functions raise a really verbose
tables.exceptions.HDF5ExtError if path is not an
existing file. Instead a IOError should be raised.

In [7]: tables.isHDF5File('hola.h5')
HDF5-DIAG: Error detected in HDF5 library version:
1.6.4 thread 0. Back trace follows.
