It will depend how HDF5 was compiled (the cmake settings).  For example, 
I build the static lib of HDF5, and therefore in GDAL's nmake.opt I 
point to "libhdf5.lib".  In my case I therefore do not need to set 
H5_BUILT_AS_DYNAMIC_LIB

If I try to set both _HDF5USEDLL_ and H5_BUILT_AS_DYNAMIC_LIB I get 61 
unresolved symbols in the linker.

Now are you understanding my grey hair comment Even? :)

I feel these notes are important to document in the buildhints wiki.
