CMake provides two ways to find libraries:
1. CMake built HDF5 - use FIND_PACKAGE (HDF5 NAMES ${HDF5_PACKAGE_NAME})
where HDF5_PACKAGE_NAME:STRING="hdf5" and ENV{HDF5_DIR}="{path to
hdf5library}/cmake/hdf5"
2. Non-cmake built HDF5 - use FIND_PACKAGE (HDF5)
where ENV{HDF5_ROOT}="{path to hdf5library}"
