[petsc-dev] HDF5 has pissed me off one too many times

The build fails. Turn off the patch and use --download-hdf5 with GNU Fortran
(GCC) 4.6.0 20101106 (experimental). The
build of fortran/test/tH5Sselect.f90 fails. It is not even run, but HDF5
cleverly builds its tests anyway. I just comment out
the offending lines. I looked at the code, but could not identify the F90
problem.
