You don't need a C++ compiler but a compiler supporting C99. The "//" 
comments are part of it. Some compilers require "-std=c99".

H5hut is still beta. The modules H5Part and H5Block are (pretty) stable, but 
lack few features implemented in 1.6. The H5Fed module is still under 
development. The serial version of H5Fed works pretty well. I hope we will 
have a parallel version of the H5Fed module at the beginning of next year.

If you want, I can give you access to the Subversion repository or send you a 
tar-ball of the current beta.
