-        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
-        with some versions of HDF4. Also, unless you have the "correct"
-        version of HDF4, the confidence testing will fail in the tools
-        directory.
-
         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:
