Comment (by bmundim):
Is there a particular problem you are trying to address?
yes, preventing human beings like me from making silly mistakes :) I set LIBSZ_DIR to the library installation directory and the compilation aborted complaining it couldn't find the library. I looked at the configure script at HDF5 thorn and realized about the inconsistent notation. Just that. If we fix this notation we could prevent others in the future, including myself again, from making the same silly mistake, misled by this inconsistent notation, when preparing or updating machine option lists.
