Sounds good. I'll work on updating the HDF5 version for next release.

This version has a nasty bug on OS X that will not allow HDF5 to read a data set that is larger than 4GB (2^32). This is due to a bug in the configuration process that incorrectly identifies a "size_t" as being unsigned 32 bit integer on Darwin instead of a 64 bit unsigned integer. What is the possibility of getting a newer HDF5 included in ParaView for the next release?
