Bug#693610: requires rebuild on every hd5 version change

[Julian Taylor]

Package: pytables
Version: 2.3.1-3
Severity: important

pytables hardcodes the hdf5 version number it was built against into its
binaries. When the hdf version changes it then aborts with following
error message:

Warning! ***HDF5 library version mismatched error***
The HDF5 header files used to compile this application do not match
the version used by the HDF5 library to which this application is linked.
Data corruption or segmentation faults may occur if the application
continues.
This can happen when an application was compiled by one version of HDF5 but
linked with a different version of static or shared HDF5 library.
You should recompile the application or check your shared library related
settings such as 'LD_LIBRARY_PATH'.
'HDF5_DISABLE_VERSION_CHECK' environment variable is set to 1,
application will
continue at your own risk.
Headers are 1.8.8, library is 1.8.9

the error message originates from libhdf which was obviously built with
the correct headers, see H5check_version.

this can currently be seen with a minimal pytables script in
experimental with hdf 1.8.9 which is api compatible with 1.8.8.
