Configuration:
-------------
- -
+ - Correct the usage of CMAKE_Fortran_MODULE_DIRECTORY and where to
+ install Fortran mod files.
+
+ The Fortran modules files, ending in .mod are files describing a
+ Fortran 90 (and above) module API and ABI. These are not like C
+ header files describing an API, they are compiler dependent and
+ arch dependent, and not easily readable by a human being. They are
+ nevertheless searched for in the includes directories by gfortran
+ (in directories specified with -I).
+
+ Autotools configure uses the -fmoddir option to specify the folder.
+ CMake will use "mod" folder by default unless overridden by the CMake
+ variable; HDF5_INSTALL_MODULE_DIR.
