Comment (by knarf):
In addition to accepting these user values, HDF5 should not try to find H5pubconf.h in the first place. Unfortunately, we need to find how the library was compiled, and that information is there. The correct way to do that is to go through H5public.h (which would include H5pubconf.h). But that would mean not parsing a simple file, but at least invoking the preprocessor and parsing it's output. The ideal solution would probably be autoconf-like tests, but the question is whether it is worth going so far.
