Done with the last upload to experimental.

Waiting for the answer. I've also found this github repo: https://github.com/nexusformat/HDF5-External-Filter-Plugins I think these plugins should ship from their own source package. They are not part of the HDF5 source tree and the HDF5 source package is cluttered enough :) With the plugin dirs configured and advertised you now have the choice between packaging the plugins or filing bugs against pytables and bitshuffle so they install their plugins into the proper locations.
