Configuration:
-------------
+ - Removed CMake cross-compiling variables
+
+ * HDF5_USE_PREGEN
+ * HDF5_BATCH_H5DETECT
+
+ These were used to work around H5detect and H5make_libsettings and
+ are no longer required.
+
+ - Running H5make_libsettings is no longer required for cross-compiling
+
+ The functionality of H5make_libsettings is now handled via template files,
+ so H5make_libsettings has been removed.
+
+ - Running H5detect is no longer required for cross-compiling
+
+ The functionality of H5detect is now exercised at library startup,
+ so H5detect has been removed.

- Removed long double work-around symbols and configure options
