Is the minimum required HDF5 version enforced? #647

In the README it says

the HDF5 C library (>=1.8.13 would do but >=1.10.0 is prefered)

but is this requirement actually enforced somewhere within cmake? I couldn't find any code that would do so.

I think it might be good, if one could rely on the configure stage to fail if no appropriate version could be found, instead of running into issues at build time (or worse, unexpected behavior at runtime).
