Just wanted to add one more thing, as I actually was incorrect about the -o behavior. When I include the -o flag in the h5topng string, this is suppressed by MEEP. Presumably, under the hood, MEEP is already using the -o flag and that is appended rather than prepended to my option flags. Thus, it doesn't even seem possible to create a hack around this problem, so hopefully there's a solution already!
