Comment (by sbrandt):

 I just checked out Cactus, and HDF5 still stops the build because it can't
 find H5pubconf.h. Even with Erik's patch. While Erik's patch does add the
 HDF5 variables (e.g. HDF5_INC_DIRS, etc.) to the configuration.ccl and
 prevents them from getting over-written, the check on line 59 of detect.sh
 still succeeds, find_lib is still called on line 60, and the build is
 aborted because H5pubconf.h is not found. So while the HDF5 variables do
 get set, it doesn't matter.

 My patch included additional checks on line 59 to see if any of the HDF5
 variables were set, and avoided calling find_lib if it were so. Some
 mechanism to avoid calling find_lib is needed.
