It looks like nobody is using HDF4 plugins and we are free to retire them.
@biagas had the great idea of simply disabling them in new builds with the goal of eventually removing them entirely. For now, this can be achieved by disabling the --hdf4 option in build_visit and removing refs to hdf4 plugins in src/databases/CMakeLists.txt
Here is a list of effected files many of which will ulimately be removed.
