Summary:                    FindHDF5 on windows tries to link to DLL instead of
lib
Description: 
When the hdf5/c/cpp/hl libraries are found using the cmake generated config
file, the location is used instead of the implib varible so the dl is linked
instead of the lib file.

There are a few other issues with the FindHDF5 which need tidying up when using
a cmake installed hdf5.

A Patch is included which addresses the problem and has been tested on windows
and linuxz with old and new hdf5 installations.

The supplied patch also addresses issue
