     Type:  enhancement  |      Status:  new  
 Priority:  minor        |   Milestone:       
Component:  Cactus       |     Version:

-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------
 the attached patch exposes two new configuration variables (which default
 to yes):
 HDF5_ENABLE_CXX and HDF5_ENABLE_FORTRAN
 setting them to no allows users to avoid building/linking against the
 respective interfaces to hdf5. This is useful when eg. one does not need
 them and would like to link against a cluster supplied version of hdf5 (or
 if one cannot use the Fortran modules due to differing compiler versions).
 This kind of relates to Ian's original email:

 Although it does not provide any early warning.
