No need to clutter it up. There is the environment variable HDF5_PLUGIN_PATH. From the HDF5 filters doc [1]:
> The default path can be overwritten by a user with the HDF5_PLUGIN_PATH environment variable. Several directories can be specified for the search path using “:” as a path separator for UNIX-like systems and “;” for Windows.

For now I'd rather stay with the above default configuration, until new real life cases are submitted.
