How about this one? It's very conservative about when it's safe to skip the 
creation of the textures -- which I like now that I see it. Because the OIIO 
version is embedded in the "Software" field as well, it means it'll also 
rebuild the texture when the version changes, which I think is probably a good 
thing, catching fixed bugs and whatnot.
