OK, I've added that to the requirements.

Is there an easy way for my program to find out of parallel HDF5 is
installed (like with a function call?)
This is a compile time setting, parallel HDF5 is a different binary. There 
are several functions that don't exist in the non-parallel version
of HDF5 (markect with '||' in the Ref. Man).  You will get link errors
if you try to compile with the non-parallel.

On the other hand, the paralell HDF5 will work sequentially, and the
application probably won't notice.
You can tell how the HDF5 library was compiled by looking at the libhdf5.settings 
file.
