Hi All,

I've put in a change to rename the opcode library builds for STK and
HDF5 to create libraries called libstkops.so and libhdf5ops.so (or
stkops.dll and hdf5ops.dll on Windows).  The reason for this is that
the previous names were the same as the libraries the opcodes were
linking to. This caused a lot of problems for me in the past when
building on OSX but I largely ignored them as it would largely get
through building if configuration wasn't redone in the same folder.
However, the problem has crept up for others and myself again and I
went ahead and changed those.

The result is that we should no longer have any issues with linking
when building those two libraries. On the other hand, we will need to
update any installer scripts that referenced those opcode libraries by
name.  Also, if you have been building from GIT, you may need to
manually delete libstk.so and libhdf5.so from your opcode directory
(or stk.dll and hdf5.dll).  I think this may be a small annoyance but
the benefit of fixing this issue permanently should be worth it.

If there's any other issues that come up, please let me know or feel
free to make a change directly to GIT.

Thanks!

That sounds good.

Best,
Mike
