We have a patch for the CXX_SEEK for installing HDF5.  rhdf5 installes a local copy of HDF5 which we already have.  It would be nice if rhdf5 could just link agaist out install.    Could someone please add an option to check the environement for hdf5 and not install it yet another copy of rhdf5?

thanks
