Hi,

Just to weigh in on the CMake issue, coming from me, someone who is quite
inexperienced at all this stuff, I found CMake not to be too difficult to
use, given that I knew what macros to pass. Every time I rebuild exr for a
different machine I have to remember what I did (and look at some online
blogs that have guides).

I too also had the Iex non-dll issue mentioned in another thread but in my
application it didn't affect anything.
