[vtkusers] Fluent hdf5 format

First, I really don't like fluent, however I don't something better yet.

Second, I found out I can export fluent .Cas and .Dat files in hdf5 format
and I would like to read it into vtk/paraview.
I also discovered xdmf as a nice path to do this, but as fluent is face
based storage vs vtk being cell based, has anyone tried to describe this
kind of  conversion in the xdmf format? Or does someone have a ready made
solution? I have found vtkfluentreader to be relatively slow and only work
for matching .Cas and .Dat files, but I need to read many different .Dat
files.

I have used the ensight gold format in the past but it is restricted to
single precision and gives me incorrect values when do post processing
calculations.
