Configuration:
-------------
+ - CMake option to link the generated Fortran MOD files into the include
+ directory.
+
+ The Fortran generation of MOD files by a Fortran compile can produce
+ different binary files between SHARED and STATIC compiles with different
+ compilers and/or different platforms. Note that it has been found that
+ different versions of Fortran compilers will produce incompatible MOD
+ files. Currently, CMake will locate these MOD files in subfolders of
+ the include directory and add that path to the Fortran library target
+ in the CMake config file, which can be used by the CMake find library
+ process. For other build systems using the binary from a CMake install,
+ a new CMake configuration can be used to copy the pre-chosen version
+ of the Fortran MOD files into the install include directory.
+
+ The default will depend on the configuration of
+ BUILD_STATIC_LIBS and BUILD_SHARED_LIBS:
+ YES YES Default to SHARED
+ YES NO Default to STATIC
+ NO YES Default to SHARED
+ NO NO Default to SHARED
+ The defaults can be overriden by setting the config option
+ HDF5_INSTALL_MOD_FORTRAN to one of NO, SHARED, or STATIC
+

- CMake option to use AEC (open source SZip) library instead of SZip
The open source AEC library is a replacement library for SZip. In
