The self-check code that was written to validate HDF5 post-installation didn't predict that the Spack versions might someday contain patches. Spack expects the HDF5 version to be reported as "1.10.0-patch1" but HDF5 reports its version as "1.10.0". This corrects that by only giving the first 3 digits.
Of course, there are dozens of ways to strip "-patch1" from the end of the version number. If you think there's a safer/more future proof way of doing it, let me know.
