Thanks for working on these changes.

Please split each independent fix out into its own commit with
corresponding commit message explaining the change.

For the HDF5_PREFER_PARALLEL implementation, please re-use
the existing find_program calls but simply prepare a variable
ahead of time that lists the preferred order of names.  OTOH,
there is another approach to solve this.  The find_library
command has a NAMES_PER_DIR option that says to consider all
the given names in each directory before moving on to the next
directory.  If find_program had this too then one would be able
to choose a preference simply by having one come first in PATH.
