Thinking about this some more, maybe it's not so hard to make all this work properly. Could we separate out the Fortran features from the HDF5 capability, and introduce a new optional HDF5Fortran capability? Then thorns that need fortran support would require this capability, and the HDF5 configure script would then make sure that it was available. Then users who don't need fortran support in hdf5 would be able to use system versions, and users who did need it would be able to use standard optionlists, as it would be compiled automatically by Cactus.
