Lutz sent in similar fixes a few days ago.  Thanks for your contributions!

unfortunately I can't commit any of these changes right now because 
Savannah was compromised (along with a bunch of other high-profile free 
software sites), so they've shut off CVS temporarily.  The 1.0.7 release 
will have to wait until next week.

Yes, that's because exrdisplay requires the full C++ API.  IlmImfDll only
exports the ImfRgb C API so that folks who have VS < .NET 2003 but not the
Intel compiler can use at least the basic OpenEXR functionality.

If you have the Intel compiler, or if you have VS .NET 2003, you don't 
need IlmImfDll, just link against IlmImf straight up.
