The question puzzled me at first, because of your use of "library". It looks as if the hdf5 r "package" utilises the "windows hdf5 library" binary. My reading is that you will have to compile the package yourself after you have downloaded the hdf windows dll from hdf.ncsa.uiuc.edu The instructions are in win.readme.txt of the package source which you can download at planetmirror or aarnet. I think the use of the hdf dll is the reason a windows binary cannot be made available for direct download.
Not quite: it is the unavailability of a working 64-bit version that means it is not distributed from CRAN.
