[netCDF #MUR-833037]: Configure problems with the --with-hdf option

> Hi!
> 
> I have two installations of HDF5 on my Linux system. One is in /usr and the 
> other

Thanks!

Due in part to problems like these, I am taking away the --with-hdf5 option to 
configure. Users will specify their own locations in flags, and my configure 
script won't mess with them.
