My prediction is that on Windows and OS X, you actually can use
inconsistent versions of hdf5 and blas, and it will work. Can you confirm
this explicitly? It's possible that I'm wrong, but I would be surprised
because it's actually impossible to get symbol collisions on those
operating systems unless you really try hard to configure things in an
extra broken way. This toolchain diversity argument doesn't make a ton of
sense to me -- Windows in particular actually has way more toolchain
diversity than the other platforms.

(I notice they say they're compatible with py27, py33, py34... I wonder
what compilers they used for that on Windows.)

(This might also explain how they could have shipped with basic stuff like
numpy broken, if they only tested on Windows or something...)
