transform the list to a series of -D{value} for the compile.
(ADB - 2014/12/09, HDFV-9041)
+
+ - Fixed compile errors on Windows w/ Visual Studio and CMake when
+ UNICODE is defined.
+
+ The HDF5 library could not be built on Windows with Visual Studio when
+ UNICODE was defined. This was due to incorrect use of the TEXT() macro
+ and some Win32 API functions that take TCHAR parameters. The faulty
+ code was a part of the filter plugin functionality. This was a
+ compile-time error that only affected users who build HDF5 from source
+ and define UNICODE, usually when HDF5 is being built as a part of a
+ larger product. There were no run-time effects.
+
+ These errors caused no problems when UNICODE was not defined. HDF5 is
+ normally not built with UNICODE defined and the binaries were
+ unaffected.
+
+ The fix was to remove the TEXT() macro and explicitly use the
+ 'A' form of the Win32 API calls, which expect char strings instead of
+ wchar_t strings.
+
+ Note that HDF5 currently does not support Unicode file paths on Windows.
