+# Note that in svn revision 19400 the '/' after DESTDIR in H5* variables below
+# has been removed. According to the official description of DESTDIR by Gnu at
+# http://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/html_node/DESTDIR.html, DESTDIR is
+# prepended to the normal and complete install path that it precedes for the
+# purpose of installing in a temporary directory which is useful for building
+# rpms and other packages. The '/' after ${DESTDIR} will be followed by another
+# '/' at the beginning of the normal install path. When DESTDIR is empty the
+# path then begins with '//', which is incorrect and causes problems at least for
+# Cygwin.
