The option list still assumes that HDF5 has been installed manually into /opt/hdf5/1.8.7. If this option list is supposed to be easy to use, I would remove this, and let Cactus build HDF5.
It is intended to be useful as a general Scientific Linux 6 optionlist, but it is currently only used by one machine (tesla). We could create a separate optionlist for that machine and make sl6.cfg more generic as you suggest, but then there would be nobody using sl6.cfg and it could easily go out of date.
In the case of the Mac OS X optionlists, we decided not to do this and to just require that certain packages are installed. How does this differ from that case?
