[Paraview] Problems HDF5_ENABLE_PARALLEL

[Dave Partyka]

Hi Tobias,

I doubt anyone has tested this as those options originate from HDF5 itself
and only have been available for around 2 months. I would suspect that work
needs to be done in Xdmf to support parallel HDF5. You can specify your own
HDF5 by enabaling PARAVIEW_USE_SYSTEM_HDF5, reconfiguring and then setting
the necessary HDF5 library/header variables in ccmake/cmake-gui. The version
included in ParaView is the 1.8.5 release available on the HDF5 groups
website.
