[gdal-dev] compile error on windows

[Joaquim Luis]

If you want to protect your hair don't try to build HDF5.8.12 (and probably some other versions around this one) it will crash a couple times under VS14 and will error at the middle of build with a
timezone variable not found (or similar)

5.10.0 builds fine but the HDF page has worry message saying files build with 5.10 may not be read with 5.8
