[svn-r23431] Fix for HDFFV-8141.

Changes default value for USE_SHARED_LIB in compile scripts to yes when static is disabled.
Comments in scripts about the order of flag variables containing library paths was also corrected.

Tested with h5committest on duck, jam, koala, and ostrich in addition to specific testing for the 
compile script change.
