That `target_compile_definitions`
Is a clever way of doing the runtime linking that R3D requires.

Question for LG though...
Do we want to provide the R3DSDK redistibutables with OIIO, in which case I
would set the R3DSDK initializer to look relative to itself.
Another option could be environment variable based so at runtime when the
R3DSDK needs the path to the libraries, it could pull from the environment.
The way will was doing it in his demo was using the preprocessor directives
to define the redist path. Which I think may cause problems because I doubt
people are compiling against the live libraries in their environment.
  Also, the "add_oiio_plugin" macro doesn't seem to set the passed
"DEFINITIONS" in a way that would allow the compilation of the plugin to
have the preprocessor directives applied.
  I played around with modifying the "libOpenImageIO" CMakeLists file and
added a "target_compile_definitions" call with my required definitions but
having plugin specific logic in the core lib CMakeLists file doesn't seem
like the right way to approach this.

So I guess, to simplify the above, the R3DSDK requires runtime linking of
the sdk and requires a path in there. I am inclined to try to read an
environment variable and fallback to looking in the same directory for the
libraries.
Does that seem like a good way to do it?

I've got a working R3DInput plugin working I think and am just getting the
test cases up. But I hopefully will have a PR open soon.
