Sorry about that, I meant to attach the module to the first email. It
is attached to this one.

After you two have combined your versions and reached consensus,
please post again and Cc me.  Then I'll send instructions to get

I'll let Will be the maintainer. My module ends up being a bit more specific to my own version of HDF5, ie, I am just looking for the libraries (c, c++, and High Level) but not really looking for the HDF5 compiler scripts.

Couple of observations about the module:

Does it find the HDF5 C++ library?
Can it figure out if the HDF5 library is a static or dynamic library? (I configure a header file that has that information inside it which can then be tested for). Is it properly finding dependent libraries when needed, like szip or zip ( I don't as I do NOT compile HDF5 with that support)? Make use of some sort of environment variable as a possible solution to finding the root of where HDF5 is installed, I personally use the environment variable "HDF5_INSTALL" for use in my script.

I imagine what I _should_ be doing is creating a HDF5Config.cmake file and UseHDF5.cmake file for my own HDF5 distribution (which is based on HDF5 version 1.6.9 and uses CMake as its build system).

Just my comments. If you want to see what I've come up with let me know. My git repo is public:
