[Paraview] Paraview's HDF5 upgraded to 1.8.5

[Michael Jackson]

    So the basics would be if you build HDF5 with "i386;x86_64" as the  
archs to build then use the "arch -arch [i386|x86_64] SomeProgram/That/ 
Creates/HDF5/Files" and you should crash out pretty quickly when it is  
trying to initialize the HDF5 library. If you build the HDF5 project  
and one of the example hdf5 programs like "h5_group" the error will  
happen. It is very repeatable. There is a long private discussion  
going on currently with the HDF5 developers to try and figure out a  
way forward.
    I just committed some CMake code to the HDF5 SVN Cmake branch to  
basically throw a CMake FATAL_ERROR if more than 1 OS X arch is  
detected during the CMake process.
