I've already fixed this in my VC++ 6.0 project.  It's basically just a 
post-build step that runs the eLut or toFloat executable and redirects 
stdout to a .h file, just like the GNU autoconf build system does.  I 
tested it this morning and it's working fine.

OpenEXR libs may become a standard part of the system on Debian GNU/Linux, 
for example.  Need to think about this and see what the GNU/Linux 
filesystem standard says about it, at least.
