You were right. I've have to update hdf5-mkoctfile.patch to use INCFLAGS
instead of CPPFLAGS because the latter is superseded by existing
CPPFLAGS environment variable.

Please find attached an updated version of hdf5-mkoctfile.patch. I've
tested it against the build of dynare which is a rdep of liboctave-dev.
