FWIW, Titan (titan.sandia.gov) has a vtkHDF5TableReader. It can find a
single hdf5 dataset containing records and store it in a vtkTable. It is
certainly limited, but people are free to enhance it. As Dave said, hdf5 is
so complex I'm not sure how generally useful it can become. Right now it
reads what I'm sure is a small subset of what could possibly be in hdf5.
