user implementation

 Priority:  major                   |   Milestone:     
Component:  Other                   |     Version:     
 Keywords:  ExternalLibraries HDF5  |  
------------------------------------+---------------------------------------
 When the user sets for example both

 HDF5=yes
 HDF5_DIR=/usr

 the script HDF5.sh fails to assert if all library files are currently
 present in
 the user HDF5 implementation, what leads later on to a linking error,
 halting then
 the executable building process. Some library files are missing in the
 HDF5
 version shipped by the Ubuntu distro, for example:

 libhdf5_hl_cpp.a

 Shouldn't the script output an warning message, and allow linking without
 this
 option, since this is not a core library file?
