[Paraview] Paraview's HDF5 upgraded to 1.8.5

[Michael Jackson]

So can I back that back off to hdf5 version 1.6.9? There are SERIOUS  
issues with HDF5 version 1.8 being built as a universal binary on OS  
X. One arch will work just fine, the other will give runtime errors.  
So for instance if someone is going to build both ppc and i386  
binaries depending which one they list first the other will not work.  
I can demonstrate this with the latest HDF5 1.8.5 sources.
