Dear Daniel,

Thanks for the log Daniel. I've tracked down the Failure To Build From
Source (FTBFS) to libfltk1.1-dev. The 1.1.4 release candidates of FLTK
have deprecated the use of *.h for the extension of its headers, and
now use *.H instead, and by default the libfltk1.1-dev package does
not create *.h -> *.H symlinks either. As a result, the OpenEXR build
scripts fail to detect FLTK as having been built with OpenGL support,
and thus chokes on the compilation of exrdisplay.

Dear Drew & co.,

I'm about to start my university exams, so I won't have much free time
to fix to this annoying little problem [1] at my end with a 1.0.5-2
Debian package anytime soon. The *.deb packages still work fine, but
no one else using Debian will be able to rebuild them (note: This is
debian-devel policy violation).

Perhaps you guys could help me out here with a 1.0.6 release, since
the final FLTK 1.1.4 release will choke future OpenEXR compiles
anyway. Thanks in advanced.
