Comment (by eborisch):

 Note that, as a scientific data format, hdf5 has a very aggressive library
 matching approach because they are obsessively interested in data
 integrity (not fouling up your huge dataset you spent years acquiring.) As
 such, we need to rev-bump everything that uses HDF5 to avoid users getting
 nastygrams every time they run.

 Please explicitly list hdf5 as a dependency so we can find this port
 easily when updating HDF5 in the future. It sounds like it is pulled in by
 its dependency chain, but it is easier/quicker to identify ports for
 scripted bumping if they have 'port:hdf5' in their Portfile, and it won't
 change the actual install process at all.
