Comment (by rhaas):
It's not Cactus itself that uses the environment variable, but make. Ie something like:
{{{ FOO=$(HDF5_DIR) }}}
will use the environment variable {{{HDF5_DIR}}} if HDF5 dir was not set in the makefile. See ticket #100 where this already came up and https://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/html_node/Environment.html for make's behaviour.
