Bug#853750: hdfview version 3

[Peter Würtz]

Hi,
I ran into the same issue on Ubuntu. After searching the hdfgroup websites
for a while I found a link to the beta release of the upcoming version 3.0
of hdfview. This version is designed to work with the new 64bit-object
libraries.

Announcement of the beta release:
https://support.hdfgroup.org/products/java/release/hdfview3.html
https://support.hdfgroup.org/newsletters/newsletter154.pdf

The beta is s a source-only release. The correct link to the source is:
https://support.hdfgroup.org/ftp/HDF5/releases/HDF-JAVA/hdfview-3.0.0/src/hdfview-3.0.0.tar.gz

So theoretically, version 3 of hdfview should fix the problem.
Unfortunately the build system fails on my machine, being unable to find
the hdf libraries installed via apt.
