[svn-r19148] Maintenance: Removed misleading information about the HDF4-to-HDF5 tools. The tools became
a part of the h4h5tools distribution long time ago, but the INSTALL file was not updated in the development branch and slipped into 1.8 releases and current trunk.

- The HDF5-to-HDF4 and HDF4-to-HDF5 conversion tool requires the
- HDF4 library and header files, which are detected the same way as
- zlib. The switch to give to configure is `--with-hdf4'. Note
- that HDF5 requires a newer version of zlib than the one shipped

HDF5 includes Szip as a predefined compression method (see 3.2).
To enable Szip compression, the HDF5 Library must be configured
and built using the Szip Library:
