Avoid rebuilding existing HDF5 files #1

Closed GordStephen closed 4 years ago

In some cases it may be desirable to load a system multiple times with different import properties (e.g. calculating total capacity value of a particular resource class). In these cases the zip -> HDF5 conversion is repeated each time. The HDF5 file could contain a hash of the zip file from which it was derived and skip the conversion if the output file already exists and the hashes match?

I'm experimenting with just using Make to accomplish this outside of h5plexos - might be nice to avoid complexity in the core package itself.

Closing this, Make is a better option.
