The original motivation for only building the test generators if specifically requested was to avoid issues with the generators being forced to link statically with autotools. Since autotools is no longer support, this is no longer a concern.

  • Remove the HDF5_BUILD_GENERATORS option, and always build test generators.

Is this a historical document that should retain old information? If not, perhaps it should be removed altogether since autotools is deprecated
