Plea to fix the [ parallel | serial ] HDF5 problem

Hi

In working on a co-installability patch for HDF5, I see an incongruity.
The current library names are
libhdf5.so.7
libhdf5_hl.so.7
libhdf5_fortran.so.7
but
libhdf5*hl*_fortran.so.7

This becomes more striking when we add $FLAVOR for different MPI
flavours, so we get

libhdf5_$FLAVOR_*_* as the pattern.

Now if most compilation is happening with the aid of h5cc / h5pcc and
pkg-config files,
we can fix this to libhdf5_hl_fortran.so.* with minimal impact.

Would anyone have any objections to doing so for the upcoming release
(which changes
soname anyway)?

regards
Alastair
