As explained in #966 an issue appear when attempting to update HDF5 to version v1.14.3 from v1.10.4.

Linux and MacOS build worked just fine.
On Windows HDF5 lib are not found when building MOAB.

It seems (as explained in #966) that hdf5 v1.14.3 no longer ships libhdf5.lib.

We have decided in #966 to deprecate support for Windows. The primary purpose for supporting Windows was for the Cubit plugin, which is no longer being supported in that way.

.lib files are static libraries in Visual Studio C++. If we want to continue supporting Windows, we may need to use shared .dll files instead. To achieve this, we should start with MOAB first.
