Swarm dependencies conflicts with Octave

[Cristiano Fontana]

I found how to force to use the old 1.6 version of the API even if the 1.8 version is installed; just a pre processor definition is needed:

	-DH5_USE_16_API

Passing that option to gcc fixes the problem.

Unfortunately I need to install also ffcall port but it does not install on my machine because the 64 bit architecture is not yet supported.
I think that this problem will not be fixed soon...

I was hoping we could get rid of the legacy "hdf5" port because I thought we had switched over all ports requiring hdf5 to use the hdf5-18.
