To get symbolic link support in HDF5.

My reading of the bug is that it's not an issue if you use a shared
library HDF5, which only works with fortran-disabled.  The yt install
script should be installed a non-fortran, shared hdf5.  For what it's
worth, I've been using HDF5 1.8.6 and h5py 1.3.1 for a while without
trouble.  My guess is that cc on Kraken prefers static, to the
exclusion of the shared library.
